DCIS breast cancer?

No tests, but doctors recommend the medication which I just went off of Anastozole with very bad side effects. I bit better 4 days after, but the awful panic attack rushes still with me this morning. Feel so alone , never received education to understand if there are other choices.
I agreed to radiation finished after Christmas with one week every day. I loved my Radiologist that explained my early/small lump would only need less treatment, and the newer partial breast area instead of the whole breast.
I would like any input you may have, as it has been hard doing this alone with no support.

I was diagnosed with DCIS in January after a biopsy. Stage 0, Grade 2, estrogen positive. I have had 1 lumpectomy and have to have a 2nd one this Friday to clean up a margin. Today I'll be meeting the oncologist who will be working with me. I'm probably looking at radiation and maybe hormone therapy but I won't know until after today. This has been quite a journey so far - my annual mammogram in December was suspicious which started the whole thing off. My family history of breast cancer is awful so for me it was never 'if' but 'when'. I'm now 72 and feel lucky I've made it this far with no cancer, and I'm feeling very thankful that the prognosis is good. My Mom had it and beat it twice! But oh, the journey is still difficult, isn't it? Like a friend said 'it's still cancer' and that changes everything. I'm so glad I found this site because we all need help in making decisions and voicing our fears and concerns. I wish us all the strength we need to battle this.
