Hi Victy83, I've just joined the group too. I was diagnosed a few weeks ago, initially with Stage 0 DCiS. Surgery was a lumpectomy and couple of lymph nodes removed, as the surgeon suspected it might be more. I had not cried up until the surgery, since I felt relieved that it had been chopped out of my body. My emotions were quite raw after surgery, but my family have been very understanding.
Then they found a very small invasive tumour, which is triple negative. Then I cried and couldn't stop! I made the mistake of reading too much online, which completely stressed me out, so my advice would be to only use respected websites.
I hope your surgery and recovery is as easy as possible.
Take care,
Fee
