Hi maryanni i just replied my dcis / mastectomy story to claudia. If u want to read on her thread I didnt have family history and u need to get surgeons recommendations re ur risk and whether doubl mx is necessary or helpful in ur case then decide what gives u peace. I had 70 mm high grade dcis as it wasnt invasive there was no rads or chemo or hormone thrrapy. Just surgery single side mx in my case due to the size of dcis lumpectomy wouldve left me too disfigured despite being 14dd and i hav now had sucessful recon. Follow up will b 5 years of yearly mammo ultrasound and mri i feel at least for the next 5 years i am protected from sneaky recurrence happy i hav one real boob left but many women hav found peace through diffrrent path. Is single mx an option or are they recommending double. I tended to b guided by what the surgeons recommended. Hugs vallerina xx
