I just checked into Medscape to see what's on the oncology horizon. They had a new set of guidelines for breast cancer treatment decisions: 115 pages worth of great stuff aimed at helping doctors anywhere and everywhere make state of the art decisions to improve our situations. I know reading stats and medical treatment stuff isn't for everyone, but I like knowing my doctors are doing all they can. I copied the top title line so you can look it up if you wish:

    I just checked it out and the treatment that my Med Oncologist is now listed! DCIS - Option 3 (category 2B) lump without radiation. Now I am really confused! Thanks for this very timely update.
