I am in the decision making process of what kind of surgery after receiving dcis dx. 2 areas of dcis far away from each other and surgeon is not confident there will be clean margins with lumpectomy. I'm hearing that safest option is mastectomy in order to about a potential cascading series of events in addition to radiation. I'm considering double mastectomy for peace of mind down the road and symmetry- but I'm petrified! Been told I can do direct to Implant during mastectomy- so no need for expander and subsequent surgery. Any insight into this?? I'm very nervous and am active and a yogi and want to be able to do all these things still
