High Grade DCIS

I have been diagnosed today as having high grade DCIS which was found on a mammogram. I know DCIS is a Stage 0 cancer but the high grade part bothers me... surely this makes it more serious?? More likely to return? More likely to become invasive? Any input welcomed.

  • Hi Sarah-F,

    A very warm welcome to our forum.

    I am sorry to hear about your diagnosis.  DCIS is an early form of breast cancer and treatment aims to remove the cancer, before  it develops the ability to spread. Do you know what grade your DCIS is? Treatments vary depending on the extent of the DCIS and where it is within the breast(Breast Cancer Care). Have you discussed any treatment options yet? Please put your faith in your care team, who will do everything they can to prevent this from spreading or returning. Treatments have come a long way in the past few years. I lost my mum to secondary breast cancer and have had 2 bouts myself. I was diagnosed 14 years ago and I still lead a busy and fulfilling life and I'm sure that you will too.

    Please keep in touch and let us know how you get on. We are always here for you.

    Kind regards,
