DCIS question. After 2nd lumpectomy excision, all clear. Will I still have to have radiation?
Been lurking here since i got my diagnosis. You guys aee amazing. I don't know what i would have done without the vast experiential information and love you all have providdd to so many. Thank you. All of you.
Now I have a question.
I got the pathology report this afternoon, all margins clear! Yay! Thought i was done with this blip in my life.
Then I talked to the surgeon. She confirmed we were done with any surgical procedures, but said I would still need to consult with the radiological oncologist, and she said she the notmal next course of treatment is radiation. I'm devastated.
Has anyone with DCIS avoided radiation after successful lumpectomies? I'm just trying to adjust my expectations.
Thanks for any insight you can provide.
