Have you had an Oncotype for DCIS?

Welcome @vcafaro, you've come to the right place to meet others who have been diagnosed with DCIS and have faced making treatment options. To help you connect with other members like you, I moved your post to this existing discussion:
- Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/dcis/

I did this so you can read previous posts and connect with members like @tctredwell1 @sakina @kathyomaha55 @jennie23b @boathouse @phillypeach515 @conk @lmcintosh @celica @lvp1122 and many others. Like @windyshores asks, I'd also be interested if you had Oncotype testing done?

I’m sorry you have to walk this out, it’s a lot. I just had a bilateral mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy on Feb 7th after finding dcis in left breast . My risk factor was high for recurrence with lumpectomy and radiation so I decided to take my best odds with mastectomy and also remove my right one so I wasn’t waiting for it to turn on me. Now my odds are even better to not have to deal with an invasive cancer. Praying for ya!
