@MrsMorrisey Thanks. I had a feeling that it must have been DCIS, and not full-blown breast cancer, otherwise I'm sure she wouldn't still be here, having followed the same path. I'm a bit confused as to why chemotherapy was even on the table for DCIS, as it's my understanding that there's an extremely low risk that it would have already spread beyond the breast. I'd be interested to know exactly what her original team of doctors actually advised - from them, not just based on what she has said or understands.
