I too had hook wire lumpectomy for DCIS (3 weeks ago) which went well, except for unexpected discovery of 28mm invasive lobular tumour in the segment that was removed - I am now waiting for full mastectomy in a couple of weeks time. Just saying this because I was so shocked by the discovery of the tumour, as were the medical team! I was congratulating myself on keeping up all my regular scans, which picked up the tiny Stage 0 DCIS - still struggling to understand why the large lobular tumour was missed. I'm now learning to expect the unexpected - and to ask more questions.
