Recurrence is hopefully just DSIC

I met with my surgeon today. The MRI looks like it is only DCIS. Not hormone positive and doesn't look like the lymph nodes are involved. I will have a mastectomy with reconstruction. I meet with the plastic surgeon next Wednesday. Hope to have surgery 2-3 weeks after I meet with the plastic surgeon. I am feeling more hopeful than I have since this started in April. I hope this next surgery will be the last time I deal with this stupid cancer!

    I sure hope it cureable. It was only 31/2 years for me. I am hopeful this will get it this time. What was your diagnosis last time? What stage was it and what treatment did you have

    wishing both of you the best. As long as the cancer has not moved beyond lymph nodes to distant places, it is considered curable. That being said, they never know who will be truly cured since there is always a risk. Sorry you have to deal with this again
