Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for DCIS.
I am really struggling to make a decision about the best path forward, so I've come to learn from all of you. I am still waiting on genetic testing results to come through, but have no reason to believe that there will be anything of significance. If there is, I will pivot accordingly. I had a 1.2cm, grade 3 DCIS with…

Hi! I had a double mastectomy done 11/17. Surgeon did not get lymph node biopsy? I was wondering if there is someone here who have same experience? TIA
Hi All. I am 41years old. When I was in my 20's I was diagnosed with PCOS. In 2023 I experienced a slight tingle in my right breast I knew was hormonal, but to appease my nagging husband, I went and was seen by my GP. She agreed that it was most likely a blocked milk duct as there were no other abnormal signs. I check…
Have been taking letrozole for about 4 months after DCIS (w/clear margins), and preventative radiation treatment. Seem to be free of noticeable side effects except it appears to cause a cough and a 'drippy' feeling in the back of my throat.

In September she went in for her yearly mammogram and a suspicious area was identified in her right breast. She subsequently had an ultrasound, biopsies and MRI and was…
Active Monitoring May Be as Good as Surgery for Low-Risk DCIS Dec 20, 2024 Two-year rates of invasive cancer were similar for women whether they had surgery or frequent mammograms, but more research is needed. Read more…
I am 37 and was recently diagnosed with DCIS ER+ and recommended to have a lumpectomy, radiation and hormone therapy. I am very concerned and resistant to radiation and hormone therapy, but will deal with those decisions after the surgery. I am American who has been living in a foreign country for 10 years, so I am also…
Has anyone had this? My primary tumor is DCIS, and no definite invasion seen from path report. But the one sentinel they took showed Isolated Tumor Cell. The surgeon wasn't too worried about it, said it's treated as negative and won't affect overall treatment plan. She said it might be from biopsy. But I feel uneasy about…
