Hi @shann
Welcome to this great site where you will always find a lady ready to help and guide you - night or day.
You have not had good news and it was something you'd probably never even considered but as some ladies would say, "If you are going to get breast cancer, DCIS is the best sort to have".
You will get good treatment in the public system so don't let not having private cover worry you. Be in touch with the local breast care nurse and get as much information as you can to ease your mind.
Take someone with you to the surgeon visit, take a list of questions and get your person to write the answers down for you. Your mind will be in a tizz and you probably won't be thinking 100% clearly - and probably won't take it all in.
We will be thinking of you.
Hugs Summer :-)
