Balancing MM and a New DCIS Diagnosis?
AI-generated title
Hi all, I had my ASCT in Jan 2024 and have been on Revlimid/dara maintenance since. Now I have found (after an suspicious mammogram and subsequent breast biopsy) that I have Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. I will need to meet with a surgeon to discuss options. From what I have read most folks who have DCIS have a lumpectomy, several rounds of radiation and go on hormone blockers for a period of time. It is very successful and some say curable. However, talking with my MM oncologist she suggested that if I have a mastectomy I may not need any of the other treatments. With everything myeloma brings she was suggesting in the long run it might be an easier way to go. One less thing to think about and no worries about what the radiation and hormone blockers are doing. Has anyone had DCIS and MM at the same time and what were your treatments and outcomes? Thanks.
