Why seems to be the question I keep asking myself this year......I was to be fitted for my treatments next week for my radiation hell only to find out that it is all put on hold due to more findings on my mammogram this morning........it is always a hurry up and wait and wait some more......I am so completely frustrated as I thought I was moving on to get to the final chapters rolling in my life and now this.....I have to wait the weekend as TEAM meets on next Wednesday to find out if they should remove the spot that showed up on mammogram.....Isn't that what I went in for in the 1st place.......why do you have to meet, of course I want anything and everything out that is visible to the eye on the film.....I just want to CRY, which I don't think I have really done since being diagnosed!  My vent for the day.......Yell

    Hi June:

     My story is the same as yours.  I was on the way to vigilant observing and Tamoxifan as my treatment plan, but after my mammo last week showed I still have some calcifications, the possibility of mastectomy is on the table.  I, too, did not really cry after diagnosis, but now I feel like a just want to cry and cry and never stop.  Waiting since last Friday to hear back from my surgeon what to do next.  DCIS, I hate you!

    I'm so sorry.  Echoing mom3band1g's thoughts.

    DCIS sucks.

    I'm sorry.  For what its worth, when my surgeon did my lumpectomy on Monday, she and the pathologists did slides ASAP on what showed on the MRI as calcifications/maybe DCIS and it turned out to be benign polyp thingees and not DCIS at all.  When we met for post-op on Wednesday, she told me that they were not uncommon with DCIS but were definitely NOT cancerous.

    In other words, don't give up hope yet.
