Hi
I was diagnosed in 2023 Oct. DCIS hormone positive Her 2 negative Stage 0.
2024 I had lumpectomy 1 node removed which came back negative. I did 10 radiation treatments dbl dose. I did not do hormone blockers. this Oct will be my 2nd mammo post surgery and treatment. So far all is good cancer wise. I have osteopenia so was not sure about radiation. I just had 2 compression fractures in my spine 3 wks ago. See my endocrinologist tomorrow. I am sure the radiation has done something to my bone density. Only you can decide what's best for you. I wish you well.

I actually had 3 nodes taken plus surrounding tissue by the tumor. All were negative and I've decided not to get radiation or take the hormone blockers. I've done a lot of research and for me, the side effects out weigh the benefit.
