Any advice or experience of DCIS with Microinvasion

Hi

Results due tomorrow after a second operation to get a wider clear margin, first one was clear but they want a larger one.

I was hoping someone here might have some experience of DCIS with microinvasion! so I can be a little more prepared just in case 

(DCIS grade 3)

  • Hi Elaneh did you find out anything about yr micro invasion x

  • Hi Andrea

    i hope you are doing well and have some answers.

    o am so sorry I didn't see the notice for this come through.

    after my care was transferred to a London hospital I for some proper treatment. I had a 14.5cm DCIS  with 8 microinvasions  into breast tissue and two small invasive cancers.  I fill find out more when I see them again. I have been really blessed with the transfer of care as the local hospital who first said nothing was wrong with me could only offer mastectomy with no reconstruction due to a need for radiotherapy whole London hospital could do a partial mastectom u and immediate match and reconstruction. They got everything out with clear margins.

    just waiting now to see how much radiotherapy 

    I hope you got clear answers and good treatment

  • Hi Elanah hope you are ok.

    I still don't really know anymore but have an appointment on 9 th May so will ask then.

    I have my last chemo tomorrow and can't wait for it to be done, then radiotherapy and hormone tablets will start.

    I just want to get on with life as I feel like I've been in lockdown for 3 years with having to protect myself from Covid while going through this as not wanting any delays in treatment.

    Hope you get your reconstruction sorted .

    Take care xx

  • I am glad your chemo is coming to an end. The hospital were able to sort everything in one op. Which is so good. 
    We might be doing radiotherapy at the same time. No hormones for me as far as I know as the initial bit of cancer removed was negative. 
     

    take care

  • Theta really good for you!

    ye we might, I'm having one week radiotherapy so should be over pretty soon now.

    oh were you negative for all the hormones ? Xxx
