Decision to make Invasive DCIS

@Harvey1903 sounds like you've had a bit of a rough time. My 1st diagnosis was DCIS, I had a lumpectomy and clear margins, ER+ only, went onto 5 week so of radiation and then 4yrs of tamoxifen. I then had a recurrence same spot, inspite of all that treatment, so had another lumpectomy clear margins, no node involvement, ER+, Stage 2, Grade 3 so had chemo for 6 months. 1yr post treatment I had a single mastectomy/diep flap recon in Feb 2017, 5 months after that a revision right breast lift, nipple recon and re-excision of my tummy scar by 30cm. I've had the tattoo and completely done :D I couldnt have an implant due to radiation in 2011, and thats why I had the Diep.  Radiation cost was minimal I went public, chemo I went private and only seeing the Oncologist cost me not chemo. I had it at Freemasons. Only out of pocket really Ive had is surgeries. My BS and PS work closely together so pushed me through public instead to save me $10,000 out of pocket. I also had genetic testing which was negative, only my Mum had BC no other history.
