I admire your strength
As a nurse. I had a mammogram a couple of weeks ago & was told I had DCIS.. however results have proven wrong. To all you women out there going through the experience of breast cancer I truly support & encourage you. This site provided me with so much information I am in awe of your stories. Stay strong ladies.
