DCIS is Ductal Carcinoma In Situ. It gets called pre-cancerous cells sometimes, and sometimes Stage 0. You would have had LCIS. These cells can sit in your breast for decades and do nothing, but when they move outside the duct or lobe, that is when you have invasive cancer, a tumour.
I am doing OK-ish. I'm having some healing issues with my mastectomy & reconstruction incisions which are slowing me down a bit. You put your finger on it when you say the emotional and mental side is more difficult. Word sista!
My mum had BC in 1986 and survived. She's still going strong at 83. My sister unfortunately didn't survive it. She died two years ago this month, at 47. It puts a different spin on having this disease when you've watched a family member die from it. You have my sympathy. Hang in there, we're here for you. K xox
