Hi Cheryl A, I am curious about whether you went ahead with radiation or not. I had a small intermediate grade 2mm area of DCIS in my left breast (July 2010). I had a resection with good margins and had to decide if radiation was necessary or not. I gave in to peer pressure and have gone ahead. I am on day 4 of 30 treatments and already my boob is sore and a bit pink. I had cancer (malignant thymoma) when I was 20. I am now 43 and feel really miffed that I've got it again! I had chemo for my first cancer but no radiation. I hate that I am subjecting my cancer prone body to another carcinogen. If you went ahead with the radiation, how was it? My Mum had radiation for breast cancer 8 years ago and shes so desperate for me to have the radiation that I don't think she's telling me the truth about how sore it can get.
