@Blister Sending love & strength your way. Such a difficult time & so much to take in. Its OK to feel overwhelmed & confused with so many questions continually going through your mind.

I was diagnosed with DCIS coming up 3 years ago & have been so blessed with a great outcome & I am praying you will to. I had successful surgery & then had 3 weeks of radiation. I didnt have to endure chemo & I am on no medication so I have been so lucky.
Stay strong & good luck for next Tuesday. Try to stay positive & be kind to yourself. love & hugs xxxx
