I hope I am in the expert forum...
June 24 had the excisional biopsy. Findings were that I had a triple negative, High nuclear grade, high prolifertion rate DCIS and IDC. I am also BRCA1 positive. I am 40 years old, had all 3 children before age 30 and nursed them all. The DCIS was 1.6 cm, the IDC was 2 mm.
I had a nipple preserving bilateral mastectomy on 8/5/08. The pathology on the mastectomy was clean. Sentinel node bioopsy was clean. I have expanders and expect to receive the silicone implants in Nov, or Dec. I plan on scheduling an oopherectomy when I am recovered from the reconstruction
As of right now, I have been told chemo is not indicated. Benefit does not outweigh the risk. I have mild auto immune issues (unspecified connective tissue) and pre-menopausal osteoperosis.
Do you agree no chemo?
Thanks!
