Hi,

I am 42 and recently had a bilateral mastectomy.  I had both DCIS and a small amount of invasive cancer in one breast.  I opted for a double mastectomy because I am also poitive for the BRCA 1 mutation.  I am now considering my options for further treatment.   The radiation oncologist I have spoken to recommended radiation because of the amount of DCIS and other factors.  She recommends this despite the fact that it is not the standard of care.

I would be very interested to know what your final decision was regarding further treatment.

Thanks so much.
