DCIS diagnosis today

Hi Fatboyslim welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear what is happening to you right now and completely understand why you may be feeling overwhelmed. I suspect that you will know more tomorrow when you know what the plan is for you and what surgery is needed  and if required any further treatment you may need. Its a scary and uncertain time and its normal to feel as you do but after tomorrow you will know what is going to happen and when and believe it or not you will feel somewhat relieved by that. Please come back and let us know what the next steps are and we will try as best we can to offer as much support as we can. Sending some hugs your way meantime. xxx

Meeting went well and I’m having surgery on Monday! 

Hi 

I was the same when I was told my head just went into a spin the good news is they have caught it early and  I was told the prognosis is good . I had an op took 3 weeks off then had to have 5 days radiotherapy to make sure it doesn’t come back. If you need radiotherapy you will have a ct scan to plan your radiotherapy treatment,. If you work I would tell them so they can provide support you may want to contact  councillor through macmillan. I did and found it very helpful. Wishing you a speedy recovery following your op.

Good to hear you have a plan and wanted to share this excellent information about DCIS from the American Cancer Society.  I live in Florida.  I had DCIS in one breast and IDC in the other.  The IDC was found on MRI and was small 3 mm with 6 mm DCIS.  The DCIS in right breast was hard to measure as it was somewhat scattered but was able to have two lumpectomy ops and I am small breasted, radiation to both breasts and started on anastrazole because both breast cancers were estrogen and progesterone positive.  This article explains about the advantages of either tamoxifen if pre menopausal or AI’s is menopausal in regards to recurrence in the breast with DCIS or the contra lateral breast.  
Take care and surgery was not really difficult for me but everyone is different so just take it a day at a time.
