Hi everyone
I've been diagnosed yesterday with DCIS. From the time I've been sent for mammogram, ultrasound and biopsies, it feels like I'm on a rollercoaster without the seatbelt, and I'm really trying to hold on to the bar otherwise I will fall... I'm 43, married, no children... it's all blurry, trying to stay positive, the sun is shining outside but it feels like everything is in suspense. I will be going for an MRI scan a week on Monday and then for more biopsies so the doctors can see what is best in therms of treatments and surgery. I'm really scared, feeling lonely at times, crying lots, but hoping that I will be seeing the sun shining again. Lots of love to you all x
Hi Marimar
Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear the you have been diagnosed with DCIS. It's understandable that you feel like you are on a rollercoaster as thing can happen very quickly. While this is a very scary time once you have your treatment plan things should start to feel a lot better. In the meantime keep busy to take your mind off what's to come and continue to post on here even if it's just to vent.
Best of luck with your treatment.
Best wishes
