What should I know about treatment options for hormone-positive DCIS?
Community Member
10 hours agoI was recently diagnosed with DCIS (stage 0 breast cancer) that is hormone-positive. My doctor explained that I have several surgical options to consider, including breast-conserving surgery with or without radiation, or mastectomy. Since my cancer is hormone-positive, there may also be endocrine therapy options to help reduce the risk of recurrence. I'm trying to learn more about what to expect as I work with my medical team to decide on the best treatment plan for my situation. I'd love to connect with others who have been through something similar. • If you had DCIS treatment, what factors helped you decide between surgical options? • What do you wish you had known when making treatment decisions for hormone-positive DCIS?
