I was diagnosed with DCIS after biopsy. I've had three lumpectomy's and am waiting on results from the third one. The last lumpectomy I had done I switched to a breast surgeon specialist and not a general surgeon. I would recommend going to a specialist. I wish I had the 1st time. Honestly the lumpectomy was not very painful. My breast was sore for a couple of days and wearing a bra day and night was a bit uncomfortable. I am just mad about this being my third surgery. I am more worried about radiation and how safe it is?. I have also heard some people have bad side effects from tamaxoflin. I know the MAO clinic has a utube video with a panel of doctors questioning whether this is being over treated. If they do recommend a lumpectomy I would go to a breast surgeon specialist. Good luck to you.
