Thank you, I am feeling at peace and need to get out of my head and have faith in the great physician who knows all.
I like hearing others experiences and thought not necessarily treatment suggestions.

@lvp1122 Hello. I was diagnosed also with DCIS in Aug and had the surgery Nov 28th. They offered me Radiation along with taking pills. I don't know what kind of pills yet cause my app is Feb 2. I am still dealing with the surgery some pain and honestly can't even look at my breast but have to because of having to add padding covering to it. I feel depressed at times but with the support of my husband family and friends they make sure I don't get too deep into my feelings. Knowing I have more surgery to go though is taken a toll on me. I know I need to get the plastic surgery done because I feel uncomfortable being around anyone knowing I have 1 breast bigger than the other. I count my blessings every single day even before this had happened to me and look at it where it could have been much worse and spread to my left. So, I am trying to prepare myself for this journey I am on and eating healthy organic foods. I have been on keto diet and really believe that it played a role in my cancer not spreading. (Just saying). I will be praying for you and anyone else that is going though cancer period.

I was diagnosed at 60 and am now 64. I had four weeks of radiation with little if any problems.

I’ve now been on an AI for over 3 years again, with little to no issues.

I try to walk every day or do some form of exercise, and eat a balanced diet.

We all experience cancer differently. 🙏♥️🙏
