Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment?

I had a lumpectomy four days ago for what was diagnosed as DCIS stage 0. The thought of cancer inside me was far worse than the surgery. I finally looked closely at my breast last night and can't really see any difference in the appearance. I was initially told that I would have radiation, but I don't know when that begins. Since my cancer wasn't estrogen induced, I will not take the meds for 5 years. Yes, I am still worried, but the lumpectomy wasn't that bad. Good luck.

I went for a second opinion, and thank God I did. I'm facing two types of cancer and many months of treatment. I am scheduled for a mastectomy in a week. Ladies, get that second opinion.
