DCIS Diagnosis - surgery considerations

@horselover I too was diagnosed with DCIS back in Dec 2017. In fact this time, 4 years ago, I would have been in hospital recovering from my surgery! I remember how I felt on the way to see my BC surgeon for the first time...shall i have a lumpectomy/single/double mastectomy. I had read & heard so much info, my head was buzzing plus I am very bad at making decisions. When I saw my surgeon she straight away said "we will do a lumpectomy & I will take some tissue from below your breast to fill in the gap". She was so confident in her decision & after explaining the facts to me, we went ahead. I have been truly blessed with my surgery/treatment & have had no setbacks at all. I had radiotherapy but only because my DCIS was aggressive & they thought it would be the best decision. I know now, after seeing the BCNA webinar the other night, that surgeons are opting for doing less rather than more when it comes to treatments & surgery.
I have not looked back. I am on no medication & next year will be my last time visiting my surgeon before i am let out into the world by myself without any more medical guidance. 
As has been said above, everyones case is different & the grade/level/size of DCIS is different so there isnt a "one size fits all"...unfortunately. As you will be told by many on this forum, the ultimate decision is yours but be guided by your medical team/BC nurse & ask lots of questions. Get a second opinion too if you want. Dont research Dr Google, listen to those who will be with you throughout your cancer journey & we will all be here to help you too. Good luck with your decision & let us know what you decide.
How many horses do you have? We have 4 including a foal born this year. Hopefully it can run fast. love & hugs xx
