Oh my heavens! I have been graced by god twice. 2018 I had DCIS, age 48. I had a lumpectomy. 4 years later, atypical ductial carcinoma I chose a double mastectomy. I am so grateful that this was caught twice early. Woman need to take care of themselves. Breast cancer kills.

Straight to the point. This video hit me 😢 I just got diagnosed with DCIS and I had a lumpectomy this month. Margins came back positive for DCIS and I was suggested mastectomy, I was very confident of doing it but then I saw testimonials of women in KZfaq saying DCIS is over treated and prevention treatments are as aggressive as invasive cancer… I was thinking of not going forward with the mastectomy, but your video was a reality check, I should be feeling lucky they caught it early. Internet can be information or misinformation world. Scary. Thank you for sharing it was very helpful.

Thank you for this video, which confirms I'm on the right path. DCIS found at the 5 o'clock region of my left breast after a routine mammogram. I immediately was referred to an Oncology Surgeon, who ordered his own mammograms and ultrasounds of both breasts, knowing that DCIS had already been identified. He wanted to be certain this one area was the only area. Turns out, I have DCIS at the 1 o'clock and 3 o'clock areas of the same breast. Three areas on the left breast, and the right breast is clear. A mastectomy was recommended, and I've decided to have a bilateral mastectomy, which is scheduled for April 4. Again, thank you for this video.

Your story was not wasted and just what i needed as i been scared awhile now. I have had dcis for the past two years always had a hard time getting tested due to my weight. So first time testing it too was 3 tries on each breast and a mri scan. I had dcis in sitsu that was about 2 or 3 years ago. I had calcifications in left breast and pron in right for same problems. I never kept appointment with surgeon as i was scared. Last year had a stroke. Being locked up in a nursing home like a prisoner by the state was bad enough, then worker there told my family ill always be crazy and unable to walk and the state worker in charge of me never addressed my breast problems. I knew i had to learn how to walk and get checked and i had to do it myself state worker didnt care. So i got released in april practiced how to stand. Called my breast nurse told her i needed a check. So they tried to check while i was sitting. Again my breast folds got in the way so i get to do it again next month. So no results were given but two nurses blurted out to me aftertest i had cancer. I corrected and said no im in sitsu and i get checked next month. Now i have another issue with my thyroid and noduals that im also getting tested and i feel like my bodys trying to kill me. Your story helped me alot cause i did find out i do have more calcifications in my left breast. This is alot with having to deal with the stroke and dizzyness nausia at same time and being scared. So thank you, ill take her fear seriously and try very hard not to make same mistake. Thank you.

How sad for anyone to ignore Cancer. I have Invasive ductal carcinoma. I opted for a radical double mastectomy. No other treatment. 4:43

I was diagnosed with DCIS in February this year through biopsy. I had my right mastectomy with axillary lymph nodes extracted in mid-April. This Friday, I am getting the results. I am so anxious. The scar is healed but having a problem of stretching my arm.

I was diagnosed with stage 2 invasive ductal and invasive lobular cancer in my right breast with a positive lymph node. My left breast had stage 0 ductal. I was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. It will be 4 years in September that I’m cancer free. I worry because it became invasive. My doctor always says if something bothers me call her. It makes me feel like it’s going to come back when she says this. I had a chemo doctor who said his mom had the same cancer and it came back and she died. I think positive most of the time but their is always that statement of his in the back of my mind. Does invasive cancer always come back?

I was diagnosed with DCIS in 2021 I went in for my routine mammogram and was told that they need to redo the mammogram of the left breast. I did and was told the doctor wanted to speak to me, she told me i needed to have a biopsy after which I received the result that said I had DCIS and I would need surgery and radiation treatment. My surgery was 26th April, 2021 and radiation treatment in July 2021. Last mammogram was January of this year all clear and I return to once a year mammogram next year. Yearly mammogram and genetic testing is important, i had a sister who passed away with breast cancer, i have no idea what happen sadly she chose to not get treatment. I got genetic tested and mines was not genetic.

Greetings, how long does it take before a tumor is formed in case of invasive ductal carcinoma? I have had surgery and taking chemo therapy now. My er and pr are positive and her2 is 0 in this case do i need hormone therapy

Thank you 🙏 My older sister just got diagnosed with this.

3/16/2023 - Please stop saying “a number of” when communicating quantities. By doing so you are including vagueness into an otherwise intelligent commentary. For example, you can say “the number of studies completed is three,” but it is meaningless to say “a number of studies were completed.”
