I could not accept loosing my breast.
Read everything you can.
Make sure your DCIS is invasive.
If it is only confined to your ducts you have time to look into other options.
My oncologist told me about a pill I could take to shrink my clusters. If it works I would be looking at a lumpectomy and not a full mastectomy.
During my pre op test we found out my heart is not strong enough for surgery.
My DCIS is not invasive at this time.
I was scheduled to have one breast removed.
Before we had this new information.
My oncologist is a surgical oncologist. I will be talking to a medical oncologist.
