Thanks so much for your reply.
I’m actually asking about a close relative. I was just told that she has stage 1 DCIS cluster in one breast but an MRI done yesterday revealed 2 more clusters. She’s 50 years old and has a family history of breast cancer

@gital Your relative is lucky to have your caring support. It sounds like she is at the start of her diagnostic process and should soon know what her options might be. I found this period the most difficult for me--the uncertainty. Once I ended up knowing the details of my breast cancer and treating it I actually felt better emotionally. And the support of my friends and family was invaluable.
