Hi RR sorry you have had diagnosis
DCIS while not technically breast cancer ...is just as scary as it can reoccur
Decision making for treatment is often left for you
Either
Lumpectomy with rads or chemo
Or
Mastectomy ..some choose single or a double...
Your choice for reconstruction
my surgeon left it up me to make decision as there is no difference with stats percentages for reoccurance
I had single mastectomy ...as older at 60 i opted for no recon ...ok for me as prothesis insert for bras and swim wear is doable
Also follow up did not recommend AI therapy
All the best with treatment decisions
Bright in hope
