Hello im shannon 30 recently diagnosed in october with high grade dcis and invasive ductal carcinoma stage 2 grade 2 triple positive.

Just had my first treatment today of chemotherapy 1/6 doxetaxol phesgo etc.

Im just reaching out as i have been following some stories on here with similar journeys.

After im finished my chemotherapy and it will be a mastectomy for my left side as the dcis is a large area, i will most likely be using deip flap which im unsure how it will look as my tummy is covered in tattoos, i will most like get a double as i am obly 30 i am terrified that something grows in the other side and i want to do everything i can to reduce this risk.

Has anyone got positive triple positive stories or experiences with double mastectomy and reconstruction?

Thanks in advance shannon
