Hi Susan,
Have you recently been diagnosed with DCIS? Please read this article if you have and be sure to get tested for HER2. I was originally diagnosed with DCIS and underwent a lumpectomy and radiation, a year and a half later I am stage 4 with liver mets and mets to the spine and HER2 positive. I hope I am not scaring you, I just want you to be very informed so that you can have the best possible treatment options. I wish you all the very best and will be thinking about you.
