I had a lumpectomy for high-grade DCIS in October. The pathology results showed that I needed a wider margin. I was lucky that my surgeon was able to do the re-excision a week after the first surgery. The second time around was so much easier. I knew what to expect and wasn’t as scared as I was the first time. I hope you won’t need further surgery but if you do, you’ll be fine. The same loved ones that were there for you the first time will be by your side again.
