what will happen to me
Forum Discussion
Once they know that it's multi focal, that's it, they can't do a lumpectomy because it's too wide spread and they couldn't be sure to get every single stray cell. You could ask for MRI - which costs a fortune by the way but they already know it's DCIS and multi focal - and sometimes micro calcification doesn't even show on ultra sound so probably no point
I know mastectomy does sound extreme - I remember first hearing that word from my surgeon and cringing .... I couldn't even say it... I called it the ''M" ... now it's my normal - it saved my life and I will never regret my decision. I also recently had shoulder surgery and two knee surgeries so like you, am totally over surgeries but I know it's giving me quality of life with my beautiful daughter and husband.
