Hi Paulina
I was diagnosed with DCIS Oct 2024, first time but a family history, my process took a while as they were checking my other breast as they found a cyst but that has come back benign, however due to that there were many delays with treatment & I did not have my first surgery for lumpectomy until late January 2025 & then while waiting for further diagnostics on other breast had to wait a month for re-excision as my margins were not fully clear, all done now & start radiation treatment on 8 April for 4-5 weeks, through that time I have managed to keep working (own business) apart from a couple of days off for each surgery, the radiation treatment bothers me a little more as fatigue is the main side effect, so I am not sure how I will go but I will try my best to juggle life/work & if I need a bit more 'me' time I will be taking it
Take care
Hi LizzieV , I'm reading this again, you must be finishing radiation treatment hopefully. Hope everything is going well.
I'm having another surgery, as the first lumpectomy didn't have clear margins.
