Diagnosed with DCIS: How do I decide on treatment?

cfetoday,
I wanted to let you know I met with the new surgeon and he was awesome. He wasn’t surprised and agrees with my Oncologists that more needs to be taken out.

He also said that since DCIS is invisible, sometimes it does take more than one try to get clear margins and that he had to go back 4 times with one of his patients. I don’t think it’s extremely common, but good to know that apparently it does happen sometimes.

I just had similar surgery and am waiting on pathology report. I am learning new information through this group. Now I will think about getting two opinions on treatment, clear margins etc.
I got two opinions before picking a surgeon so it makes sense to see two oncologists too. Thank you for sharing.
