Okay, just when I thought I had pulled it together from finding out yesterday that I was diagnosed with DCIS non-invasive. I have been reading and talking to people. And it sounded like this was caught at such an early stage that maybe some surgery to remove and maybe radiation and or chemo and I would be moving on. Reading these post about DCIS even at stage 0 people are talking about masectomy. Please talk me down from the ceiling. I meet with the Cancer Dr. tomorrow. I know I will be able to ask questions than, but I really need to talk to someone now. I feel find and have no symtoms. Should I stop reading and talking to people until I meet with the Doctor tomorrow. Are their specific questions I need to ask. Please help.
