Hi everyone, 

I had a lumpectomy and radiation for DCIS 3 years ago, but have been called back after my 3rd mammogram check.  Apparently they have found a 'very small area' on one of the images and need to check this with an ultrasound and a possible biopsy.  It may not be anything .... but ....

Has anyone experienced a recurrence after 3 years?  I am terrified!   Is this a common occurrence? 

Thank you,

Maxine
