I've a 12 cm DCIS and have been told I need a mastectomy. I looked at having DIEP flap reconstruction and so was sent for CT to have a look at my stomach wall. The CT showed some abnormalities in possibly the ovaries or the bowel so I've had a second CT and awaiting a biopsy. My surgeon thinks it's unlikely to be a secondary as it's DCIS but has advised it's rare, but you can have 2 separate cancers. Obviously waiting to hear back from second CT and biopsy but is it possible that the DCIS is a secondary if there is cancer elsewhere?
