DCIS is usually NOT treated with chemo or herceptin. It is usually treated with surgery followed by radiation. Mine was ER-, PR- and HER2 + at 3+. I begged for herceptin to try to reduce the chances of recurrence but was denied. Unless the DCIS is found to be in the chest wall or skin (which by definition DCIS is only in the ducts and lobules) it is treated by surgery to remove the lesions followed by radiation.
