Hi,
I'm with you. I also had a huge DCIS with no spread and clear nodes. So all I had was one-side mastectomy and no other treatment. I thought that I was living a nightmare for a last couple of months since I've been diagnosed. But after reading the stories of other amazing women who are fighting BC, I realized that it was nothing compared to what they are faced to. I agree that it was like a tornado, which turned all my life upside down, and then ...nothing. I fear recurrence, so now regular check ups, genetic testing and I would definitely consider removing my second breast if it is positive. (Especially I'm starting to like the look of my new boob, I won't mind the second one looking the same :D )
I realize how incredibly lucky I was to get out of it so easily. Now I want to leave all this behind and go back to normal life.
