Hi
Do you mind sharing what your treatment was or are you still going through it

They will most likely check the sentinel nodes, which is just a few that your dcis would drain to directly. Luckily it doesn’t usually result in side effects.
Are you seeing the surgeon for a lumpectomy? Did your doctor order any other tests?
Hi
I had my lumpectomy December 15th last year I had my Sentinel node surgery February 20th this year I had 20 sessions of radiation in 10 days and now I am complete they did not do an oncotype test because the invasive cancer was minutes and very microscopic and my Sentinel nodes were all clear my margins were clear so I didn't qualify for an onco type test I finished treatment April 2nd. My oncologist said it was up to me if I wanted to do tamoxifen I tried it for 6 days it was horrid the risk of side effects with all my health issues is way too high for me to even consider it so I am not doing anything else

I am 9 years out. I had grade 3 invasive but low Oncotype so no chemo. Double mastectomy and 5 years aromatase inhibitor. Caught up on bones with meds afterwards. Good luck!
