This was an excellent article as I did get my DCIS pathology report out. I believe my DCIS was really a DCIS (in my left breast). I did have IDC in my right (which is why I am here and its pathology is totally different). My DCIS was 0.3cm, clean margins, no lymphovascular invasion noted, grade 2, primarily cribiform, ER+/PR+ and Her 2 negative, no necrosis. Surgeon truly believed that it was something that I probably could have lived with my whole life and nothing would happen(????). Maybe not.

Of course they watch me like a hawk and I will probably get my breasts removed someday in the near future anyway. My surgeon said that if every woman's breasts were biopsied upon their death, they would find that 80% of them had DCIS and it is a normal occurence as we age. Why some turn against us as invasive bc is the question.

Thanks for posting this
