DCIS
Hi - I was diagnosed with extensive high grade DCIS in late April and was advised that I would need a mastectomy to prevent the further onset of cancer. I find that there is little information about ...
So glad you were offered and took the MRI, and yes it shows the full story, takes the guessing game out with numerous surgeries not needed, don't understand why it's not part of the treatment and covered or part if it? I guess it will one day! No chemo for me either, very thankful for that and didn't need medication, my LCIS was negative but DCIS was positive. I really hope the tamoxifen settles down for you, can I ask if you had a double mastectomy why do you have to take tamoxifen? Even though I had my mastectomy 7 weeks ago tomorrow I'm still trying to absorb so much info which is something I didn't have time before the op, may seem strange in that why get the knowledge now after the fact but I want to know as much as I can to learn from it.
