DCIS Diagnosis - surgery considerations

Hi @horselover. I’m on here because I had my third diagnosis back in September.  I was diagnosed with DCIS (left breast) in 2014. At that stage I was happy to think about mastectomy but my breast surgeon felt that lumpectomy and radiation would be enough.  I have not had any further issues in that breast since then; however, this latest diagnosis in my right breast of a 1 cm invasive carcinoma has meant that I am now looking at the double mastectomy and reconstruction. I’m in Victoria, so with the backlog of surgery due to the restrictions, I’m still waiting for a date for this to happen (I had the tumour and a node biopsy done a few weeks after my diagnosis so at least it’s out).  My situation is very different to yours and I believe what is recommended has to do with lots of different factors including the size of your breasts and where the DCIS is, etc.  This forum is definitely a good one for information and support.
Wishing you all the best with your journey xx
