Hi all, this is my first post on here. I was recalled following a routine mammogram (I'm 53) and calcifications were found. I have had a vac assisted biopsy on an area in my left breast - 5cm duct. I was told at the time that I would probably have to have another biopsy on the other end of the duct to make sure both ends were the same. I had my results two days ago and was told that it was DCIS with no invasive cells. The consultant said that I am to have a lumpectomy at the beginning of July. I had another biopsy yesterday on the other end. I did ask the consultant about a mastectomy and he said it was a possibility if that's what I wanted. I think I am going to go down the lumpectomy route, as I don't really want to face major surgery just yet. He didn't say what grade the tumour was and I just wondered at what stage do you get told this as he was quite vague when I spoke to him?
