I know the radiation time is dependent on each individual's diagnosis, however, I was wondering if there is a minimum length of time for radiation following a DCIS diagnosis. I have heard it is six weeks for any type of DCIS and maybe longer if there is more than one site. Also, how soon after the biopsy does radiation usually take place and is it done usually for 5 days and then break for a day or two? I live where I have to travel away from home and had my surgery almost a month ago and still haven't heard anything yet. Is it common to have radiation so long afterward? Thank you.
