Hi @bronni, your diagnosis (low grade, early, DCIS and some invasive) sounds very similar to mine. Because of the multifocality of the DCIS, my breast surgeon recommended mastectomy. I didn't require radio or chemo. However, I was advised to lose the nipple. I did ask the surgeon whether or not I should have a mastectomy of the right breast but her response was negative and that I didn't need to. That was all a bout 16 months ago! I had the left vertical skin-sparing mastectomy, with insertion of a tissue expander and then in March this year had a DIEP reconstruction. Very happy with the result. Just need to get the nipple reconstructed in a couple of months and right breast reduced to match.
I'm on Tamoxifen and that's it.
