Newly diagnosed with DCIS stage 0 yesterday. I’m so so scared. I’m 33 with 3 children and really struggling with this. Has anyone been through this?
I haven’t had your diagnosis (I had invasive and a different diagnosis) - but bumping your thread back up for you to see if it rings a bell for anybody else reading.
You probably have already been given this leaflet, but if not here is the link -

This is a very early diagnosis of something that could potentially be a problem if it hadn’t have been picked up (I presume you had some symptoms that you went to get checked, as you are young), so you are I’m sure in very good hands with your team. I know its incredibly frightening, but I think as you move on to your treatment to remove the anomally you will start to feel more in control and more positive. You have very reason in the world to expect effective treatment, but I’m sure your BCN and consultant will talk to you about that and reassure too.
If you find that nobody pops up here who has had exactly the same diagnosis (there are a large number who have had the same, if you do a quick DCIS search, but people tend to move on after treatment and are getting on with living 
then do consider enlisting for ‘Someone like me’.

Hi LIsa. I have just been diagnosed with DCIS In my left breast and it’s been a total shock with no symptoms. It appeared in mammogram. Im now booked In To see surgeon. They said it’s not broken the wall yet but could and then it will spread. Im so scared. How has your journey been?
Hi, I was recently diagnosed with DCIS stage 0 having had a rout it mammogram. I had a meeting with the consultant last week who told me due to the size of the two combined areas I will have to have a mastectomy. Not the news I wanted. I have an appointment at the end of the week to let him know which route I want to go-if I haven’t decided he’ll give me more time. The team are very supportive and will answer any questions, if they don’t know the answer they will find out. So far I’ve been dealing ok with it but do find,every now and then,that I just feel like having a good cry! All I can say it’s good having a great support network around me. I hope things go well for you.
