Newly Diagnosed DCIS Stage 0, Grade 2: Still reeling

Ask your doctor to order an MRI.
My Gyn/ob, ordered mine because of breast cancer in my family. She felt the mammogram wasn’t enough. And she was right! It found DCIS at Stage 2 that was missed only six months before on a mammogram.
Dr Love’s Breast Book is the breast cancer Bible and explains a lot things your doctor doesn’t have time to talk about.
My insurance company nurse navigator was my lifeline. She was so much better than the hospital liaison.
Your breast cancer sisters here are good resources but do your own research. What works for me, won’t necessarily be your solution. Dr. Love’s book (7th edition) can be found on the internet. Lots of issues to consider.

@beyourownadvocate thanks so much. I will look for that book. My Nurse navigator gave me a book as well. the Info dump at time of my meeting was like wah wah wah in Charlie Brown, but knowledge is power and I plan to research everything I can before I make a decision that will change my life.
