I'm Stage 0 DCIS - thank GOD for early detection. I formally meet with a breast surgeon next week, but I have done quite a bit of research and spoke with a former colleague who is a breast surgeon. I'm hopeful to avoid chemo.

Thanks for affirm my deep rooted introvert!

We are on the same boat. I have 2 younger kids, 12 and 7.
When I got diagnosed with DCIS stage 0 last week, the first thing I told my husband was - if it weren’t for the kids, it would have been easier. I think as parents we worry about them so much. I still have no idea how to tell them, for now my only plan is to let them know when I have more news after I talk to the surgeon next week. How, I’m still torn. I came across a website (it won’t let me add the link here for some reason but cancervic.org.au and they have a pdf about talking to kids about cancer)
Hoping for the best for you. Stay strong.
