I am 34 years old and just diagnosed with invasive DCIS on Sept 26, 2013. What a shock that was since I didn't have any family history. BRCA is negative however I will be undergoing bilateral nipple sparing mastectomy with reconstruction on Wednesday. My decision was based on wanting the lowest risk for reoccurrence of the breast cancer. Thankfully that is what I decided since my MRI showed something questionable in the opposite breast. Further treatment is unknown at this time since I have to wait for final pathology results. I am thankful for my partner Dana who has been by my side everyday!! My family and coworkers have been fantastic, even setting up fundraisers to help with the costs. My 9 year old son has also been very supportive and understanding.
