It's back again :(((
I'm a BRCA 2 carrier. Had DCIS the first time (2013) at 22 years old. I had a lumpectomy back then, no radiation no medication, have no idea why. Now 2017 my DCIS is back again in the same breast ...

What a bummer that you're back on the roller coaster! Anyhow it is what it is!

I've had a mastectomy and implant. Everyone's experience is different and being a member of the private group Choosing Breast Reconstruction may give you a better understanding.
There are lots of resources on the website as well as the forum, one I have copied here may help with your deeper understanding of the type of cancer that you have been diagnosed with and or help you to formulate questions for your specialist and or Breast care nurse - do you have a breast care nurse? They are the best thing out as they are like the go between who can find out information or direct you where to go as sometimes when you are with the specialist you are so overwhelmed with information that questions don't come until you have left the appointment.
