Hello all I've just joined the network. This is my status. Lumpectomy after DCIS insitu highly invasive, nuclear high grade, too small to be able to get hormone readings. Yes, I'm lucky....sort of...
Hello @Judithm I was diagnosed with high grade DCIS in November last year from my first ever mammogram at 42 years old. I had a lumpectomy in December then was due to have radiation in January. They didn’t get a clear enough margin so more surgery is needed. Due to family history, my age and having 2 young children I’ve opted to have a double mastectomy with tram flap reconstruction in August. I’m having it done at the Mater in Brisbane. It’s such a confusing and stressful time. I found it very helpful reading posts from this forum. Best of luck with your decision.
