My DCIS is intermediate-high grade It’s non invasive...so still feel a bit embarrassed I’m so worried when so many have faced much steeper challenges than me. Living alone gives you too much time to think. Also have only told 4 people so looking forward to holidays so I can relax. I am not looking forward to radiotherapy as have sun damaged skin. But thankful it’s early diagnosis. I seem to be making a lot of choices so quickly - but time is dragging.My grandson is gorgeous- so can’t wait to get back to see him in Canberra.Thank you again to all the brave people who make me feel I’m not alone 💕💕💕💕
Hi Louise, Yes this site is amazing, and I have learnt so much from it, It does pay to do the research on what to ask your doctors etc, I had not had any experience in this area, and did not have a clue about it all, but I found the questions that I needed to ask before appointments. Take somebody with you to every single appointment and treatment if possible, as the brain does not retain it all, as you are going through so much. Where do you live, I am on the gold coast thought you might be close ?
If you want to talk just send me a private message, as I found that it is good to speak to somebody else going through the same thing as you. It is reassuring !! Sending Hugs Cheryl xx
