Hi @El.mumof2.....welcome to the forum, although I am sorry for your reason for being here. Whilst I can't say I'm 30, I was diagnosed with multi focal DCIS (and after biopsy, early stage invasive carcinoma) in April last year. There were no indications - no lumps, no bumps, nothing...just those little satellite dots on a mammogram that indicated all was not well. I have no family history either - so it was a bolt out of the blue. 10 weeks after my diagnosis, I had a mastectomy and insertion of a tissue expander. Now, 12 months on, I've just had the reconstruction.
Its ts been surreal since Day1 - I never felt sick...godammit I'm a vegetarian, reasonably fit, have a healthy life! But there's no reasoning behind cancer - I got it.....and have spent the past 12 months wrestling with and accepting my new normal.
everyone here knows how you feel. We will wrap a warm and loving collective hug around you and say you're not alone; we understand and we will walk beside you.
Sending big virtual hugs
