I also had DCIS, mine was stage 0 and I had lumpectomy. They had clear margins but one margin was only 1 mm and they want at least 2. They want me to do radiation and hormone therapy but I am only going to fo radiation, no hormone therapy. Im nervous because it is my left breast and concerned about heart and lungs but felt better after talking to radiolohical oncologist. Looking forward to being done and cured!! Just feel it is important to make your own decisions!

Wow ! That is exactly my situation and I am so afraid of radiation because of left side as well . I am thinking about proton therapy but one doctor said it would be not beneficial to me. Still with stage 0 after lumpectomy they suggest 4 weeks of radiation . My margins were 2mm accept posterior less then 1mm. I was told radiation is needed or another lumpectomy . But now no Savy scout , no marker and doctors comment that he would need to remove much more all around ( it's like playing in the dark he said ). That didn't sound good and lost some confidence in my surgeon . Trying to get another opinion from oncology radiologist. . All the best to you ! ❤️🙏🏻
