I had dcis five years ago. I had a lumpectomy and didn’t have the radiotherapy. I have had a second lumpectomy a few weeks ago and am about to start 5 sessions of radiotherapy shortly. I’m just wondering what it is like, also if any one has experienced problems.
Hi Aprayerforowenmraney and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.
The online community is divided up into different support groups so I'm going to recommend that you join the breast cancer group which is a great place to ask your question, share experiences and get support from others who have had a lumpectomy followed by radiotherapy.
To join just click on the link I've created and then join and post in the same way as you did here. You can also join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
It would be great if you could pop something about your diagnosis and treatment so far into your profile as it really helps others when replying to you and also when looking for someone on a similar pathway. 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
