Hi there,

I was diagnosed with early breast cancer every test pointed out, for lumpectomy/radiotherapy. Genes negative.

After surgery, pathology report for positive margins DcIs. Onco type came back over 40 . Suggested quimo ACT/ mastectomy.

Anybody in the same situation?

    Hi Killercells:

    Sorry to hear about the positive margins. I guess you have two questions?

    (a) Whether anyone else here who had a lumpectomy for invasive disease had positive margins (in your case, positive for DCIS), and received a recommendation for mastectomy?

    Please do not hesitate to ask your breast surgeon to explain the specific reasons why they think a mastectomy and not a re-excision would be preferred (or might be necessary) in your particular case, so you understand. If you have doubts, you can ask about the recommended timing of any further surgery and seek a second opinion from another breast surgeon at an independent insitution.

    (b) Anyone else with an Oncotype test for invasive disease and Recurrence Score of 40 who received a recommendation for AC/T?

    Hopefully others will come along.

    You may wish to post or include in your profile, information such as your age, type(s) of cancer(s) (e.g., IDC, ILC, and/or DCIS, etc), size(s), ER, PR and HER2 statuses, and lymph node status, to hear from others with a similar diagnosis.

    Hi Killercells,

    Sorry you have to be here. I would get a second opinion at the best cancer hospital available to you. I don't have DCIS (or rather, I have IDC in addition to DCIS!) but I think a second opinion would be in order. Good luck!
