    I was just diagnosed. My DCIS is 5.6 (or the size of a hard ball!). Lumpectomy with radiation or breast removal are my options. I am leaning towards the breast removal.

    Davis1,

    I am sorry. Your body and your mind deserve a break from all of this.

    I just 3 weeks ago had my lumpectomy which was 8x6x3 @ 1 o'clock. Clear margins came back and my plastic surgeon was concerned about 1 area only being clear at ..05. I chose to have reconstruction after lumpectomy because I was a DD. The Plastic/Recons Surgeon took more margins to be on the safe side and they were clear. The lumpectomy has me at a C and in sure after Rads will eventually be even smaller but I'll take the C and deal with recon at a later date on the jacked up boob.


    Not looking forward to Hormone replacement therapy. Suggestions???
