hi everyone, hope someone can help! I've been diagnosed after mammogram with high grade non invasive DCIS, had lumpectomy, clear margins and now told I need six weeks of radiation which I do not want ...
@Caseypinto It sure has been a scary time, but you know, I couldn't face a mastectomy in 2015 at diagnosis it took me all that time to do it and I haven't looked back. That's why I know now I'd absolutely do the mastectomy and no treatment, every one is different absolutely! so I have no regrets, my path was meant to be for me to learn what I needed to. It was hard without my Mum both times and little support but amazing what you do when you have to. Just always, always be true to you :)Caseypinto said:

I can't say I agree with this, I had a Breast Surgeon, Plastic Surgeon, Oncologist and Genetic Counselors all say that my risk of DCIS or anything in the right breast was no different to the general population, they are separate and risk is not twice at all.One more addition, I thought I'd read this somewhere and just found it on the bcna site under DCIS.
