DCIS

Question

Hi EveryoneFound this article (link below) in recent Beacon issue. For anyone with DCIS diagnosis - hope you find it helpful - I did! Having been through DCIS diagnosis and treatment, I know how difficult it is to weigh up risks and make treatment decisions when there's no clear path to follow.My thought for the week ahead - Do something kind - just for you - every day!&nbsp; http://beacon.bcna.org.au/2016/08/ive-been-diagnosed-with-dcis-what-does-it-mean-issue-of-concern/

It is a very confusing and fraught issue that many struggle with. Hopefully the clinical trials will help to develop more conclusive ways of dealing with DCIS.
