What did you wish you asked?
Hi there, I'm new to this network so not sure if this is the right way to go about it. I'm 33 and got diagnosed with DCIS in late November, had a mastectomy and reconstruction in December and have ...
Thank you all for your responses and advice. <3
@arpie my radiation oncologist said radiation would cut my recurrence chances down by half, so to me that makes me feel that it's the right thing to do. I too have been told no chemo but most likely Tamoxifen but I will know more on Monday. I live in Balmain, Sydney.
@kmakm, that's right. Initially diagnosis was high grade DCIS (9cm tumor) but pathology results post-mastectomy showed minor invasion. Thanks for the suggestion of genomic testing. I have a family history so I am open to any additional testing beyond just BRCA.
