“Please, if you take one thing from my experience, consider the importance of being informed and being willing to advocate for the treatment options that you feel are best for you.
I am not DCIS, I am not a ‘tumor’ and I am not just a ‘patient’. I am a mother, a daughter, a sister, and a friend. I am not only a physical being, but the sum of my knowledge and experience, and both an emotional and spiritual being.”

Thank you Nancy for sharing your very personal journey. You are an inspiration!
I would also like to be in touch with women who are refusing standard treatment for ADH/Low Grade DCIS and instead opting for active surveillance. I am from Switzerland.
You can join closed Facebook group and ask who is doing Active Surveillance: https://www.facebook.com/groups/158944124702954/
