Thank you for the reply.
Was yours initially diagnosed as DCIS? Or was it IDC from the initial diagnosis?

Will you share with me how radiation was? And when they say radiation is every day is that include the weekends too?

I’m sure you’re probably feeling a little terrified and overwhelmed by all the tests, scans, and information being literally thrown at you from all directions. My advice like the others have said, sit down, be still and breathe. Then start writing down the questions you have about what’s next, your greatest ally will be learning about your cancer, look up words you don’t understand, familiarize yourself with procedures, what they’re for and how they will help give you the best outcome. I was diagnosed with stage II IDC which had spread to my lymph nodes on the right breast and LCIS in the left breast. I knew during the biopsy that something was very bad just by the change in the doctor and the nurses demeanor. This was back in Aug 2017, at the time I wasn’t able to process everything, I only felt sick and empty. I thank god for my sister, she was my rock. One person on here had a great idea, ask the doctors if they mind if you record the consultations so that you will be able to understand at your, get definitions of words that sound like they’re made up, when you understand what’s going to happen and why you’ll hopefully get to have a say in your treatment plan. This will give you back a feeling of control of your destiny. In Feb2023 I finished all therapies and was officially declared in remission. My heart and prayers are with you, may your surgery, treatment, and recovery be the best outcomes possible for you. Also, this is a very good site to come back for support, information, and wisdom from those who have intimate knowledge of what you’re going through each and every step of the way. Find peace…
