Your brac2 gene is not helping and there does only need to be one cell left behind apparently. Yes persistent bloody thing. Now it's IDC they may consider chemo depending on path results that come back.
My heart goes out to you as even the first time round is hard enough for most of us. Please do have a consult with a genetic specialist to discuss all your cancer risks and they will refer as they see fit. An appointment with an onco-gynaecologist should happen also regarding your ovaries being larger and a brac2. It may well ve nothing but you never have too much information about risks I don't think. At least then you are making informed decisions and not just leaving it up to specialist only to decide.
If you do need chemo they will recommend egg retrieval for safety.
