What helped you make treatment decisions following DCIS lumpectomy?

I choose AI , at 71 ( until Saturday). No obvious side effects. Radiation was scary to me and as it addresses local / regional and I had a unilateral mastectomy I felt “ cleaned out” of breast tissue. I had 2 positive sentinel nodes and 5 next in line we’re negative…

AI is systemic. My understanding was AI was prescribed even if I had chosen radiation.

Hope this helps you on your journey… these decisions are very challenging and the learning curve is steep! 🌸

Thank you for your response. I am awaiting my meetings tomorrow with both docs, Radio Oncologist and Oncologist. I’m going to ask specific questions as treatment will pertain to my needs, and fears. Both treatments are scary, short time and long term. Blessings, hugs
