Hi Chris24

Sorry to hear about your daughter I'm 27 around the same age as your daughter and have also been diagnosed with DCIS I have recently had the right breast removed and will be having further treatment. I live quite far from home too but have since moved home to be closer to my family.
Is she on the forum too would be nice to hear from someone around the same age as me.

Sorry to hear about your Daughter, but it sounds like she has got a great family around her, my daughter was 28 when she was diagnosed with breast cancer,  she completed all her treatment and even went on to have a baby in sept last year and she always stayed positive.

Thank you Sam. I am truly astounded with the way she is handling this, incredibly brave and still making us all laugh. I'm hoping she can keep this frame of mind although I know there are going to be lows. She is surrounded by fantastic friends and family.
She is determined to use this by raising awareness, especially in younger women, for all. Please take a look at her blog x

My beautiful young daughter has been diagnosed with grade 3 invasive duct cancer. She has more US tests on Monday and consultations and appointment with cancer nurse. She is being so brave even though she is facing the removal of her right breast and the other treatment to come. I am devastated and trying so hard to be strong for her and two sisters. She lives on her own 40 miles from us, I'm so worried about her not being close to any family. Sorry for rambling I feel so bad right now and do fearful the thing may have spread further
