Repeat lumpectomy? And treatment decisions. Need advice

I also had a re-excision and my surgeon told me that, although it is rare, since the DCIS is invisible there was a possibility I could have to go in a 3rd time. Luckily that did not happen.
I just finished 20 treatments of radiation and will meet with my medical oncologist December 26th to discuss Tamoxifen. Your plan sounds similar to mine. Take care!

Hi again. I just got a call from surgeon telling me tumor board was cancelled this Thursday and will be rescheduled January 4. Just got a question. How long was the wait for your second surgery? In your pathology result , what grade do you have? Mine is Grade 2. I am thinking if I need to just let my doctor do the surgery sooner and not to present to Tumor board. Idk how fast the growth is.

That’s good no more 3rd one. Just a question . Did you think of mastectomy when he said possibly there will be a third? Thinking to have a second one is already stressful for me and my kids. What more a third one? Yes , looks like we have the same treatment. Any side effects from radiation?
