Diagnosed with DCIS I have implants

Oh being contained in a duct isnt a reason for a mastectomy, it's usually so many other factors, whether it's a tumor or multi focal spots over an area. So it really is dependent on the lumpectomy and the results of that to confirm exactly what you do have. Certainly ask the Surgeon exactly what they'll do, after lumpectomy dependent on results. Generally you wouldnt require chemo as Kath said for DCIS. I had DCIS back in 2011, and needed radiation and was Oestrogen positive so Tamoxifen. It really depends on the results, its hard to not think the worst especially a mastectomy. So make sure you are clear at the appointment of what they will do. x
