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 ...
My original cancer, DCIS, 17 years ago, resulted in a left mastectomy, radiation and tamoxifen...the surgeon argued with me 3 times just to do a lumpectomy and i said no i don't want to have to come back, so mastectomy it was...the surgeon later came back to me and apologised as the cancer was also under and around my nipple...so when in doubt, take a stance and make them listen...needless to say my cancer is back but thts a whole other 'kettle of fish'.
