I was diagnosed with DCIS in November 2008. A Lumpectomy followed in January of 2009 and MammoSite the first week of February 2009. I wanted to have some control over what was happening to me so I became a curious student during the process. I wanted to know everything-the hows, whys and how much. MammoSite is an amazing treatment option. Two other friends and myself were diagnosed within 2 months of each other with the same type of breast cancer. We attend the same church and began a support group for ourselves. We have 10 women so far! I am the only one who has been blessed to have had this amazing and short treatment! Minor discomfort with the catheter in place one week prior and the week of treatment was a very small price to pay. I did experience a delayed reaction to the radiation and had some red, rough skin 9 weeks following treatment completion which was easily remedied with an ointment from the radiation oncologist. I look forward to seeing further progress in the use of MammoSite Radiation and I strongly encourage any woman who is dealing with breast cancer to ask your doctor if you are a candidate. If you are, you will be glad you took this path in your journey of treatment.
