My Mom recently diagnosed with DCIS
Breast Cancer | Last Active: May 23, 2023 | Replies (26)Comment receiving replies
Just diagnosed with DCIS. Had lumpectomy and biopsy shows they got all the tissue affected. Now being told I need radiation and hormone therapy. I’m just looking for someone who’s been through this. At first, finding lump, diagnostic mamo and ultrasound, needle biopsy no one seemed concerned. After lumpectomy and pathology results I’m being told the treatment I need. I’m just wondering if I should be concerned or just glad we found it early.

@queensfaith, how is your mom doing? What treatments will she be getting?
@cogardner, I would definitely be glad that the cancer was found early. What treatment options have been suggested after lumpectomy?
@blessedx6, thinking of you as you prepare for surgery tomorrow and look foward to hearing from you when you're able.

Your breast cancer is same as I HAD.
1 Lumpectomy 1st
2 Radiation Treatment 1st next: step,
3. Chemotherapy final step to destroy any tissues that may be still cancerous, Most likely you may be put on Anastrozole for blocking estrogen . You may have heard of a lot of opinions about Anastrozole side effects. I chose to take Anastrozole for 5 years and had minimal side effects. I’m very happy on my regimen I was on, it killed my cancer cells 🤞🙏🫶Hope it’s gone for good.
