As I have DCIS , I wont need any other treatment if I have a mastectomy. I worry about the radiation treatment because if I later decide to have a mastectomy, the skin doesnt heal as well and reduces the likelihood of having a successful reconstruction.

From what I have read if you have DCIS and you have a relapse 60% of the time it will be invasive. Both of my sisters had really nasty aggressive cancers.

Good Luck for the 27th Anne , I willl be thinking of you. Jen X
