What are the treatment options for invasive Ductal Carcinoma In Situ?I was diagnosed with invasive Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. It was 1.7 cm. in size. Had lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy. The pathology they did during surgery came back clean. I am very scared. Any information would be appreciated.
I thought the invasive diagnosis was unusual also, but I saw the breast biopsy report and that is what it said.

It is impossible to have "invasive Ductal Carcinoma In Situ" as in situ means non-invasive. Are you saying you have invasive ductal carcinoma AND DCIS? Treatment option should have been discussed with you before you had surgery as what kind of surgery you have is based on your decision. I think you need a other talk with your doctor.

The diagnosis seems contradictory. "In Situ" means "the absence of invasion of surrounding tissues." So my guess is that you have Ductal Carcinoma in Situ which is great news (as far as news like this can be).

I wish you the best of luck. Do research on your own. Question your doctors. You are in partnership with them for your healing.
