Hi Jennifer,
Thank you for sharing your experience with DCIS. In March I was also diagnosed with DCIS, Stage 0 breast cancer. On April 15th I had a lumpectomy. This morning I am returning to surgery! Even though my margins are free of cancer, my oncologist was not able to get the 2mm clearance she wanted in one area. I will be 64 on Sunday!
I will most likely do radiation. Unsure if I will do the hormone blockers. My experience has been extremely positive!
Happy you are doing well and thank you for sharing your journey!!

In reply to Cory Dunn. I will do that! I found out about DCISionRT through another patient and found the test to be quite valuable. Although I didn’t use it, I did enjoy learning more about it. I hope it can be an effective tool for many who are trying to figure out if radiation is critical for them.
