Side effects of treatment for DCIS

Treatments for DCIS can cause a number of different side effects. Some are temporary and go away when you finish treatment. Others may last longer.

Everyone is different. You may experience very few side effects or they may only be mild. Some people have more serious side effects that affect their daily life.

It is important to tell your doctor about any side effects that are bothering you. Your treating team or GP can help you manage these.
