Hello Ladies (I hate people using the Americanism term “guys” +referring to females.!) Apologies for complaining in my 1st post +sorry again if there has been a topic reg this but I’ve not looked
through forum yet. I’m now age 60 + 10 year ago had DCIS removed under general anaesthetic.
After my mammo in Dec 2019 DCIS returns,ie, calcifications, I was recalled +after having 2 separate biopsies,the 2nd being done
because surgeon realised she would have to go deeper + nearer to the chest wall. Follow up
appointment surgeon says , She can’t get out all the pre cancer in milk ducts(which I presume it is )
She advises I have mastectomy, but as my breasts are small, she l just make a flap, take out the breast
tissue, replace with implant + put the flap back over. Makes sense?. I was supposed to go +sort out a date
for op to be done in April which obviously got cancelled. I really don’t want this op. What’s chance of DCIS
which is contained in situ, the chance of it spreading to main tissue? ++ Even if it does would it then be stage 1 cancer? Or could become stage 3or 4 that quick? Can any lady here reassure me this op is
not necessary? I’m in the UK, Is this site mainly UK residents. Thanks for reading. SAVANA
