Traci,
Mine is almost identical to yours....7 cm of DCIS, two invasive ductal carcinomas (1.2cm & 1.3 cm) 15 of 19 positive lymph nodes. Ironically, I had been very carefully monitored for the previous 10 years, having several surgical biopsies of fibroadenomas (all benign), aspiration of cysts, etc. I religiously had mammograms, ultrasounds, you name it and was seen every 4 months. With all that it still did not appear until the DCIS showed up on a mammogram. It is a very aggressive disease in my opinion. Ironically, this showed up in my right breast, which is the same one that my original biopsy 10 years earlier showed benign tumor. I believe it is all connected. Thank God for Herceptin and the newest treatments.
