Newly Diagnosed DCIS Stage 0, Grade 2: Still reeling

The MRI and genetic testing will help a lot in deciding what’s next! Good to know your mom has not had a recurrence!
I was diagnosed 2 years after retiring, and I’m three years post surgery. I did a ton of research at the beginning. Joked with the radiologist that I felt like I’d completed a post graduate seminar in breast cancer treatment!
Wishing you the best! You got this!

@triciaot Oh Lord, I feel the same !!! back to school i go. some people think I'm over-reacting and making myself more paranoid. But the way I see it, I'm better informed to talk to my doctors. Cancer is Cancer regardless of the stage and it is a devasting, life changing diagnosis. Its my body, its my life, and its my choice. What i feel is so insensitive is people saying, "oh just cut them off and get a new set", or "just go flat". I cant for the life of me understand how that is a supportive comment. There are so many options, it is a little overwhelming, but mainly, I'm looking for best option to prevent a recurrence. If that means bilateral mastectomy, then so be it. Thank you for responding and thank you for the encouragement.
