Same - diagnosed in March, lumpectomy in July, radiation ended a month ago. I found in talking to others there are so many different experiences even if on the surface it looks like the same path. I did not rush any decisions.

Hi. Getting ready to finish my radiation treatments and am not doing hormone therapy. What should I expect next? I just want to be done after I ring the bell but now have 2 followups in April with oncologist and May with radiological oncologist. Why?

@surpriseca I was diagnosed with DCIS April of this year. I went for my biopsy in may. In June I underwent a lumpectomy, and the removal of 4 lymph nodes. I ended up with a staph infection where the nodes were removed and had to wear a drain for 2 weeks.
I finished my 21days of radiation therapy on August 28th.
The worst part was the weekend after radiation was completed. The burns were really bad, and lasted for a month. It is October 1, 2025, and I am still healing from the burns.
It is definitely a marathon, not a sprint. Now all the follow ups begin.
Good luck, hang in there, and take time to pamper yourself a bit. You deserve it!
