I had DCIS
I had DCIS non invasive with a 1/2 centimeter tumor.I didn't have a masectomy but a lumpectomy.What my doctors suggested.It was also confined to the milk duct and a second surgery to check margins was done almost 3 weeks later.I see your DCIS was just in the milk ducts also. WAs it your decision to have the surgery you had w/o reconstruction or did your doctors say it was best??
I keep thinking I made the right decision.My friends had invasive bc and both are doing find after many years.They had lumpectomies.

It was my decision not to have reconstruction and I am glad I didn't have a surgeon that was respectful of my decision and not pushy about getting reconstructed. If she was pushy about it, I would have fired her.
All pure DCIS is in the milk ducts. If just a little breaks out of the milk ducts, it is no longer DCIS, it is called DCIS w/microinvasions and Stage 1. That is how the head of the oncology dept. explained it to me.0 -
