in 2013 I had a lumpectomy biopsy followed by bilateral mastectomy and reconstruction for DCIS ER+/PR+ 6mm close to chest wall. No radiation or tamoxifen; Oncologist said not needed with bilateral mastectomy. Having yearly MRI's. Anyone else? What scares me is that it was close to my chest wall.

I was dx'd with Tripe Negative IDC. I am hoping they got it early since the tumors were not there last December when I had a Biospsy of a non cancerous tumor.

I had BMX in June. my tumor was .8 cm from my chest wall but my margins and lymph nodes were clear. since several of the tumors did not show up on the mammogram or sonogram, they did a CAT and Bone scan to comfirm there were no tumors past the chest wall. I still have to do chemo and RAD as a preventative measure.

Thank you for responding... I really appreciate it. So nice to have this site to get others feed back who have gone thru similar ordeals. I just started looking thru this site after I found out a friend was diagnosed with stage 4 a few weeks ago. With all the worry and sadness for her, it made my mind start wandering with all the "what if's". thank you for helping to put my mind at ease. I hope you are doing great. Sending hugs your way :)
