Hi @shann - great that you found this site so quickly - the ladies are amazing and offer so much comfort and guidance.
I just had bilateral mastectomy with expanders and had changeover to implant surgery last week. I also had DCIS high grade. And like Nikki thankfully I didn't need rads or chemo, and as mine was hormone receptor negative, there are no meds. It's a tough decision, but I am so glad I made it as they also found another sneaky pre cancer growing 10mm away. Good luck with your decision and make sure you write down all your questions to ask the surgeon as you can feel bamboozled, especially if you're by yourself. I found it helpful (took me a while) to ask for a copy of my path report also.
