If I will do the second surgery ( waiting for the recommendation from the tumor board or I can just tell my surgeon I am ok with the second one instead of waiting for the tumor board presentation) 2 months after that. So looking maybe last week of February or March) not sure. But oncologist said , I need to be totally healed from the surgery before we start the radiation.

Both my Medical oncologist and my Radiation oncologist told me that having the re-excision and then the radiation would give me the best chance for it not to return. Your DCIS seems similar to mine and if you have positive margins I would think your best bet would be to have the surgery and pray they get it all and then do the radiation. But you have to do what you feel is best for you. I will be praying for you!
