I had an area of IDC with an area of DCIS right next to it and decided at my age (62) I was going to do a mastectomy and my Surgeon agreed that was my best choice. In the surgical specimen was a 2nd area of IDC and 1 of LCIS so am glad I went that route as neither of those had been mentioned. Also, in reading the operative report the Surgeon said due to the 2 areas we knew about I would have been disfigured with a lumpectomy due to the size. Work with the Surgeon and see what he/she recommend, but that final decision is yours.

I was also just diagnosed. I have an appt with surgeon next Wednesday. Radiologist has very positive feedback about the findings but I’m feeling skeptical. I am extremely tired and very cranky. Do you have these symptoms also?
