My story is very similar to yours. My DCIS was 24 years ago with lumpectomy w/o clear margins, 2nd lumpectomy then 30 fractions of radiation. On advice I insisted on ointment to use ‘just in case of skin reaction.’ Worked beautifully: never burned skin. Mammos clear until a year ago.
Now same breast with inverted nipple and ILC. Repeating testing done last year to make my decision. At 79, I feel great with a positive attitude. Our bodies, our decisions after research, advice, discussion!

@mimi09 What was your overall Gy dose?
