In 2005 I was diagnosed with IDC with lumpectomy, radiation & 10 years of Tamoxifen/Femara. My Mammogram has shown a 3mm cluster of Macrocalcifications in the scar site and have a biopsy scheduled for this Thursday. The report states it is Grade 3 indeterminate cluster. No calcifications showed up last year. Has anyone experienced this? If it is DCIS then what are the surgery options considering I have already had radiation?

    I am waiting for a diagnostic mammo on Monday due to a call back. I believe, if there is DCIS/IDC, I would need a mastectomy due to prior radiation. I do not believe you can have rads twice on the same breast.
