Hi @Anne65 and @Sister. I too have dcis no lymph node involvement. I actually went in being told it was benign so thought that was the end ah nope only to find out it was cancer and went in and had breast conservative surgery, had the tumor  (in fact two as I found out when the pathology came back) and have now started radiation  (today is day 3). No chemo needed as it was not invasive and after radiation will go on hormone therapy  (letrozole) as I am menopausal. I too have found it a bit much my head in a fog for awhile. Hubby came to surgeons and oncology appointments as he could ask his own questions. So far no side effects. My advice is take one appointment at a time deep breath  and go forward from each appointment with each bit of information you obtain. The big "c" word is frightening and daunting. Do the best you can and dont be hard on yourself. Good luck keep us posted and I will too xxx Jill
