Jax,

Did you have invasive cancer, too? If I remember correctly, most DCIS (if not all) is Her2+++ and because it is not invasive, it is usually treated with one of the estrogen blockers and rads (if you have a lumpectomy). Typically it is not treated with chemo and Herceptin. Maybe Her2+++ DCIS is being treated differently now. I don't know???
