Hello
my mum of 77 has just been tested for biopsy and the result showed Papillarh DCIS. Consultancy as follow up in two days, while CT scan is clear except for the two lumps on her left breast. The lumps are quite big underneath her left breast while her nipple has no discharge nor has changed in colour.
I am worried about the worry and pain she will endure
any advice will be much appreciated

Hi sorry to hear about your mum, it's difficult to see someone you care about go through this. I was diagnosed last February so am nearing the end of treatment now. I think the pain will depend on the type of treatment she has to have but of course the worry is always there.
You might find the Friends and Family group useful. I've added the link for you. Best wishes.
