Less than 48 hours out diagnosis for DCIS, I haven't gotten to the a hard questions...I'm sure they will come.  I haven't she'd tears...i guess they will come

I have tried to assure our two oldest children to STAY IN LIFE and keep doing what they are doing. Rocked my daughter to sleep last night because in less than 4 weeks - I've lost an uncle and friend to cancer (so all cancer in her eyes is death), I've hugged and consoled my husband when he cried after telling our son by phone...and I've spent a lot of time trying to tell my family and friends that it is ok.  Someone asked was I in shock....perhaps. but I've been in investigative mode since 4/12/14.  And finally knowing what I'm facing is such a relief...even though I'm not naive to think this will be a walk in the park...I'm finally at a place that I know my battle. 

Spent today meeting with my PCP, was no longer given the choice of taking BP meds...mandatory.  She also gave me muscle relaxers for a headache that developed two minutes after diagnosis and to help me sleep more than two hours.

 Well I'm off to enjoy the day. A dear friend is getting married and I'm celebrating.

Hi Muzakmom! I don't know if you have seen the answers on the other thread you started, but there is some wonderful information on DCIS on BCO. I printed it out when I got my Dx and gave it to friends and family, so they would understand exactly what DCIS is and what was going on with me. It will give both you and those around you, some peace of mind.

I know you are reeling right now, but as awful as it is, to get any Dx, this Dx of stage 0 DCIS is the better Dx to get. There are lots of us here on BCO. We have made connections here and come back to greet newly Dx women and help with support and advice, about our experiences, just like we were given, by others, when we were in the situation you are right now.

I wish you the very best! (((((Hugs)))))
