Introduction

Hi every one. I'm Sandra and have been diagnosed with DCIS in June. It cut the story short I had a partial mastectomy in July and I am lining up for a full mastectomy and immediate reconstruction on the 23 rd of this month. I'm in a bit of a mess. I think I have been refusing to really face things until now and the anxiety and lonely feelings have hit with a vengeance. Asking for help is really hard but if there is a shoulder to cry on I would be very grateful.

    Hi Sandra.  I have been diagnosed with DCIS in August, and have had 2 lumpectomies in the last 3 weeks to remove the DCIS.  I also had 2 spots of evasive cancer, and will be seeing an oncologist on Thursday to discuss chemo.  I am terrified, not knowing what lies ahead.  I can truelly understand how stressful this has to be for you.  Just know that you are not alone, and that the lovely ladies of this group are very supportive, and will be with you every step of the way.  I have had most of my questions answered, and it is a great place where you can just cry, be anxious and scared and everyone will understand.  My shoulder is available.  xx
