DCIS is detectable with mammography. The digital mammograms are very
good at picking it up. Whether or not mammography is safe, I would
rather have my DCIS caught before it becomes invasive than waiting until
after.
I was not given an ultrasound as DCIS cannot be detected by ultrasound
because there is no mass. So, ultrasounds may not be able to pick up
stage 0 cancer.
And MRIs also may miss DCIS.
Looks like the surest way to find stage 0 cancer is through Mammography.
So now it looks like, though I will have the thermogram to check for
other things, I will probably have to continue having mammograms in
order to keep tabs on possible DCIS recurring.
