dcil

Ladies,
I had mammo's since i was mid 30's, I knew there were calcifications. What i did not know was to keep a eye on them. When i found my lump at 38 yrs old, had a mammo and ultrasound. Mammo didnt pick it up, the ultrasound did. Final path of my breast was 4 seperate invasive ductal carcinomas, along with at least 4 dcis directly to each of the four lesions,compatible with separate primary tumors. Also in the breast between the tumors, some dcis was present also. The dcis was cribiform, and comedo type.
