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 ...

Hi @"Hope 2013" sorry to hear its come back. I was 30 when I was diagnosed earlier this year and my decision for a mastectomy was immediate as I'm a brca 1 gene carrier plus my mum passed away from BC a few years back. I immediately decided this as I didn't want to die like my mum and having already got BC at a young age and being a carrier of the gene. I was drawn to the implants straight away as I didn't want any other part of my body touched or scarred. I personally don't worry about the complications with implants. At the moment I still have my tissue expanders in and have had no trouble at all. In a few weeks I'm having my implants put in.
I'm single and don't have any kids. For my personally it doesn't bother me if I can't breast feed.
I'm just glad that there are reconstructive options now because being young you still want to have some kind of boobs. To be honest I thought I'd be upset about losing both my boobs but I haven't been at all. I'm really liking my new ones and they'll look even better when my implants are in.
Once you join the recon group, take a look at my photos I've posted on my expanders.
I hope you find a decision that yoy are happy with.
