Dcis
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 ...
Yes to having mastectomy..i did not want to have rads..but i had no node involvement and intermed grade but did have comedo medo necrosis
but should have had double. Mainly for comfort
What all of us with bc have to take on board is that bc whatever type we are diagonised with can be unpredictable
Sorry not all good news went 4 years with all clear..its very rare but sometimes dcis does metastise....to my lungs
Hormone positive so on AI letrozole for 11 months and stable..all good so far no rads no chemo so side effects of drug have been minimal. Next followup with onc will probably ask for I brance as this is wonder drug for hormone positive
Right from outset i wanted mastectomy but from diagnosis to surgery was two weeks so not much time to dwell.
All best B
