I had right breast dcis.
Stage 0 since still in the ducts. Hormone positive. They didn't do lymph nodes since they knew it was contained. I did lumpectomy, and they still had me do 3 weeks of radiation lying on my back. Now on anastrozole

Hi, thank you, with the 3 weeks was it whole breast or was some of that time targeted and if so how many days? Do you know the radiation strength they gave you? How long ago was your surgery?

Simba2022, thank you for posting your specs on your radiation, I was able to do the math for comparison and basically the dosage comes out the same for us this as really made me feel a little better about the whole process! 🥰🙏

Hi
It sounds like you and I are alike. As far as right side d c, I, s, they didn't have to take limp glands from me. I'm waiting for results just wondering if you've had any side effects on that drug. My surgeon said probably 3 weeks of radiation.
And depending on my Hormone results. I may have to take the drug.
