DCIS is not the same as invasive breast cancer.

DCIS has better outcomes than invasive breast cancer and needs less aggressive treatment.

Don’t rush the decision.

You have time: you have 3-4 weeks to choose an option that feels right for you.

The right choice depends on what you prefer.

Each option has pros and cons. It is important to select the option that feels right for you.

You are not alone.

You may experience some stress or anxiety after your diagnosis. Please know that this is normal. Your health care team will support you as you figure out the next steps.

You can go from a less invasive treatment to a more invasive one (but not the other way around).

If you start with a less invasive approach you can add more invasive treatment in the future. However, if you start with a more invasive approach, you can't go back.
