I am about to undergo a wide excision for DCIS and I will later be referred to a radiation oncologist.
Wondering if anyone is happy to share their experience with particular radiation oncologists on the Sunshine Coast. I will likely be going down the private patient path if I do require radiation treatment, as I wish to have the DCISionRT test (I have just learned that both Genesis and Icon offer this test).
Hi ThinLizzy While we wait for others to respond with their experiences, you may some of the below resources on DCISionRT and general information on radiation therapy that may also assist:
