I was just diagnosed with DCIS as well. I hope you experience the same level of detail I did with my surgeon. She took me through the pathology report and explained what it all meant, talked thru lumpectomy vs. mastectomy. Take some time to jot down any and all questions with the expectation they'll get answered. I had a full hour consultation and I hope you'll get the same. I know how scary this is and it may be hard to focus so take someone with you who can take notes. Hang in there!

Thank you!!
It gives a little comfort knowing that there’s people that take the time to respond with kind words. In the midst of what we are / will go through.
I sure hope the surgeon will explain it in detail. I have started with my list of questions, plus the guide Laurie gave in a separate comment.
Good luck with everyone and hope you keep us posted as well.
