A member asked:
I was dx with invasive dcis pr+er+ her2 - stage 1 dr is recommending mastectomy is that correct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Invasive dcis: From the sounds of your biopsy result, your lesion sounds very aggressive. Hence I would agree with the mastectomy along with arimidex or tamoxifen and Herceptin. If your biopsy weren't so aggressive, I would have said otherwise.
