Anyone diagnosed with DCIS breast cancer?

I just finished radiation therapy two months ago after a lumpectomy with what I believe had insufficient margins. Close to the margin, a small amount of DCIS (which I believe was always there) was just biopsied. What is next? I prefer breast conservation, and I understand that I cannot have more radiation.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I am so sorry you are going through this, it always feels like once is enough.
The good news is it is still an early diagnosis, and the earlier the better in cancer of any kind.
There is an active discussion around DCIS. Here is a link to that. I just know you will find support there.
