Speaking of DCIS, a dear woman in my support group had it 7 years ago and had a double mastectomy because she is bipolar and didn't want to take tamoxefin or radiation. The doctors told her she didn't have to worry any more. She has bone mets now. Interesting, her doctors at two major cancer centers recently told her that she is the 1% of DCIS that recurs. None of them had seen a recurring DCIS person until they treated her. This is a complicated disease.
