Wow! Hi Sally.... So sorry about what you're having to go through, but you've definitely come to the right place!
I was diagnosed with very early stage multi focal DCIS (and a small area of IDC) in Feb last year in my left breast. No lumps or bumps - just a routine mammogram....nothing showed up on the ultrasound, just those sparkly little calcification dots! I went on to have a left vertical skin sparing mastectomy with insertion of an Aeroform tissue expander last April. 3 weeks ago, I had a DIEP Reconstruction.
I understand how you feel...it's like a whirlwind and it does take some getting used to. But you will do it...and we will be here to help along the way.
Sending you big virtual hugs....it's not easy at this stage, but you are on your way. You have the first step in your plan and then, once the pathology comes back, the next steps will reveal themselves. Feel free to ask questions, vent, seek support - there's a hell of a lot of expertise here :)
Take care
