HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - wondering how many had DCIS plus her-2+ invasive cancer

Hi -
My main tumor was ductal, invasive and Her2+++. It had infiltrated and was in 8 of 18 nodes. Within my lumpectomy they did find another tiny DCIS forming, but that was the only one and the margins were clean. Breast MRIs showed no more tumor (that can be picked up on MRI).
I had a mammogram just 4 months before I found my lump. My tumor was small at less than 2cm.
I agree that the DCIS is the stage just before breakout and should be treated as such.
