What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy?

Just curious if there are any recommendations from Mayo on a good Oncologist/surgeon/facility in the St Louis MO area? I feel kind of helpless just picking a doctor off a list & I don’t know anyone with a similar experience for a referral.

Siteman cancer center is ranked 11th in the nation.
This would be an excellent choice for a second opinion or to help find your way through all of this. Here is the website.

The other thing I would say is please remember on forums you really hear a lot from people who cannot take treatments due to side effects, but this is still a very low percentage of women who take these treatments. Typically, people who have relatively no side aren’t here talking about it. Have a conversation with your oncologist about your concerns and know that everyone who has gone before you is cheering you on.
Have you already had some genetic testing on your biopsy tissue?
