Aromatase Inhibitors: Did you decide to go on them or not?

DCIS - means 'in situ' or within the duct. The cancer has not spread outside the duct......but DCIS can evolve into an invasive cancer that spreads outside the duct and further. It may or may not do this. If it does become invasive it can leave the breast via the lymph nodes most commonly and spread to other areas of the body. I think that may be what was being referenced?

Yes - I had 2 tumors one was DCIS and one was IDC Invasive ductal carcinoma. And my lymph nodes were all negative. I'm just saying that is what both my surgeon and my oncologist told me.
