Terri,

I don't know your wife's pathology, but my tumor was combined DCIS/IDC, so I have done some research on it. Here is a link to a paper that found that the presenced of DCIS confers an improved prognosis for patients with T1N0MO invasive breast carcinoma: http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?scri...lng=pt&nrm=iso

I know you haven't been a member here for that long, so here is a link to a thread from the Articles Forum from last year where the topic of IDC/DCIS was discussed: http://her2support.org/vbulletin/sho...eferrerid=1173 There is some good information there, too.
