I was diagnosed with DCIS, Stage 0 and had a lumpectomy on my left breast in October. Once they entered the breast, found 1 cm of actual cancer which was removed. While the breast was opened, I received radiation which is called the IORT procedure where the radiation is administered once (high dosage) and I will not need any more radiation (the margins came back negative). I have to take Letrozole for about 5 years. I am having problems with this medication. I am also having pain in my breast but was told that it would happen during the healing process. Did your doctor discuss the IORT procedure?
