Hi

I was diagnosed with dcis in January, had surgery 3 weeks ago and need to have radiotherapy. Who decides how many sessions you need as I have seen that some people have had 5 sessions but some have had 15 or more.

  • Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

    It's natural to have questions around your treatment so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask questions, share experiences and get support.

    To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'click to join' or 'join' (depending on the device you're using) on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post in the same way as you did here and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'. 

    When you have a minute it would be great if you could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.

    If you have any difficulty navigating the community just drop me a reply and I'll be pleased to help.
