I had DCIS twice, one on my rt, once on my lt, (1996 and 1999) with lumpectomies and radiation on each side. Last yr I had a bilateral mastectomy due to a 6mm invasion of the DCIS on my left. At the same time of the mastectomy, I had my reconstruction, the DIEP flap. I live in HI, but this was all done in So Calif. My surgical oncologist and plastic surgeon were excellent. I am very happy with the results. If anyone has any questions regarding my surgery & reconstruction, please feel free to contact me.
