Hello Hone
I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through surgery for DCIS. It's good to know that the team achieved clear margins and that your lymph nodes were clear.
It's understandable that you may have some questions about possible further treatment options. Do talk with the specialists about any concerns you may have as they will be best placed to answer your questions and explain why some treatment options may, or may not, be recommended. Hopefully, they will be able to give you some reassurance.
If you'd like to chat things through with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
Best wishes,
Jenn
