Breast Cancer - Ductal Carceroma In Situ Posted: 08-27-05 00:15am
Is there any information out there on
exactly how benign ductal carceroma in
situ of the breast is when diagnosed
early? I was told several days ago that
there are "changes" showing on the digital
mammogram that was taken only 3 months
after the previous mammogram, ultrasound
and an mri was done. Can things change
so quickly in 3 mos, or is it that none of
the technology is as reliable as we seem
to think. Now i'll have to have my 4th
core biopsy. I also had a surgical
biopsy, followed by a removal of
suspicious tissue that turned out to be
bengn. I was told that this was "most
likely nothing", that "80% of the growths
are not malignant and that if I was in the
20% group, this was caught very early and
that it is very treatable.
I am very, very tired of 15 years worth of
anexiety, lack of information,
misinformation and at this point lack of
trust in these machines. I am
considering an elective mastectory of both
breasts and then a reconstruction. I
would appreciate any information on
surgeons in palm beach, broward or dade
counties in south florida (with geographic
preference on central and south palm beach
and broward) who specialize in
reconstruction.
