First mammogram post lumpectomy and treatment has DCIS
Last May I was diagnosed with stage 2a grade 3 IDC with DCIS. I did lumpectomy with clear margins of both. Did TC chemo, 33 rounds of radiation and now getting Zoladex monthly, and taking exemestane and Kisqali.
Had my first mammogram after treatment a couple weeks ago and the radiologist came in the room and showed me my mammogram from last year along with this year and there are calcifications in same spot on both, it is near my scar tissue from lumpectomy. As extra precaution he wanted to do a biopsy. I got the biopsy results today and it is DCIS. I can’t believe this. It’s just never ending. It looked to be a small area but because I already had radiation, I am worried I now have to have a mastectomy. Meeting with surgeon in a couple weeks because of course she’s on vacation next week. I can’t believe she missed DCiS during my lumpectomy that was shown on my mammogram last year.
Someone please talk me off the ledge!!! Has this ever happened to anyone or am I all alone with this?
