Diagnosed with DCIS I have implants

 Hi Lisa, I was diagnosed with high grade DCIS in June when I had a lumpectomy- they usually only do radiation if it's high grade,- but again up to your 'team' of carers- so you may be lucky and avoid that. I personally did not want radiation so, After two lumpectomies I opted for double mastectomy (did both because I'm a total worrier and couldn't live always wondering if it will come back in the other boob) and I also had micro calcifications, turns out it was a good decision as I also had ADH which is atypical ductal hyperplasia starting 10mm away from my original tumour.
It all depends on your particular tumour - such bad timing for you over Christmas- as the girls have said the waiting is the hardest part. Ask as many questions as you like, that's why we're all here, so much support on this network
