Found out this week I have DCIS
I’m 60 years old and I noticed a slight indentation under my left nipple and a dull ache in my left breast. I was supposed to have a Mammogram in May, but you know COVID happened.
Anyway I finally arranged my Mammogram for early this month, mentioned change did the scan, had an examination, was told the usual call if something found or letter in 8 days. Well it was the phone call.
For the sake of my adult children I’m trying to be, but the things going through my head, is the cancer still contained, has the biopsy caused it to spread. I can’t ask this question as I haven’t had time along with a medical person since I’ve been diagnosed, I know I have no right to complain, my family want this treated and treated quickly so I seem to have lost control of my treatment and care.
Are these feelings normal, my surgeon has told me this cancer I have has a 100% survival rate, so why do I feel like I do, there are so many women/men worse off than me, everything seems to be happening so fast no time to process

Went back had the tests exams and biopsy.
Was asked to come back with my husband for the biopsy results, while being prepared by staff that things didn’t look good and everything looked very suspicious.

I’ve been lucky been diagnosed, had specialist appt and my surgery is due Tuesday exactly 1 week after. We are still waiting for the staining results to come through.
I don’t feel like I’m allowed to feel anything but calm about my diagnosis, my husband keeps telling me with our knowledge of cancer (he’s a two time survivor) there’s nothing to worry about, it’s early and contained so I just need to be calm and relaxed about the whole process.
