Hi I’m Rox. Diagnosed with Ductal carcinoma in situ high grade two days ago and had a second biopsy today for another suspect area. Absolutely devastated and wish there was a ‘pause’ button I could press on my life, as I can’t face any of this.
Hi Roz55 welcome to the forum and I am so sorry to hear your news. It is little wonder that you are feeling devastated and I imagine a little scared as well about the future and what is to come and that's perfectly normal and ok as well.
I think you are not alone in wanting a pause button or even a rewind button, but sadly there is no rewind and no pause button but hey you will get through this and we will be here with you and for you every step of the way so keep posting and feel free to ask any questions you like. xxx
Hi Rox, I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis and definitely wish we could hit a pause button too. It is horrid when it happens to us and just feels so overwhelming. It does get easier when they give a treatment plan and start to feel a bit more sure of what is going to happen to deal with it. We are here to support you and to help you find your way through this. These feelings will change and get better even though it does not feel like it right now. sending love to you x
