Treatment plan post mastectomy for DCIS

Hi all lovely ladies. I was diagnosed with 15mm low grade dcis and opted for double mastectomy due to family history ..maternal grandmother and great aunt had breast cancer. Post mastectomy it was upgraded to 18mm intermediate /high but no microinvasion. Surgeon believes no further treatment needed. Genetic testing only found an u certain variant so not really considered to have the main genes. Not sure why I still don't feel enough is done. Maybe I am overstressing..I asked the surgeon if I do needto go on Tamoxifen and he believes no. Not really sure what to do. Wanted to see if anyone has been in this situation?

    It's only normal to feel the way you do, given your family history and I think many here will be able to relate to what you're saying. Hopefully, some of them will be along shortly to chat with you and offer advice, until they do however feel free to jump in the conversations already going on here on the forum.

    Also, if you think it could help to talk with someone with a medical background, please know our lovely team of nurses is available Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m on this freephone 0808 800 4040.

    I hope this helps.
