Hi this is my first time posting in 2 years. I'm 53 and waiting for biopsy results for possible DCIS recurrence in the left side, the first time 2 years ago . I had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy the first time, the consultant radiographer said she thought it was back. Can it spread to the lymph nodes? I'm so scared. I've also had stage 2 ER+ on the right side. Thanks x
Hi JoanneEH
Welcome to the forum and I am sorry to hear that you have a possible DCIS recurrence and that you have ER+ breast cancer on the right side. I am sending you the link to the information on DCIS on the Macmillan website. Here it is: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) | Macmillan Cancer Support.
Wishing you the best of luck with whatever comes next.
Best wishes

I am sorry its back and as someone else said: third time lucky.... keep being strong. As for reconstruction I came to the thought that breasts are only good for one thing if we are child bearing, otherwise they get in the way of so many things.... but it has to be a personal decision
Hi. I am soo sorry to hear its back. What a terrible time you are having.
I had a left mastectomy and decided an immediate implant reconstruction was for me. In clothing you would never know. I had no symptoms or signs BC picked up at first routine mammogram.
I hope you dont mind me asking but did you have symptoms that made you believe it was back?
My only worry with an implant is that that breast isnt checked at yearly mammogram just the right one is..
Anyone know how you would know the cancer is back in a breast that has an implant?
Thanks.
Wishing u all the very best with your treatment x
