Hello everyone, I posted here before when waiting for my biopsy results. I'm not waiting anymore, got the call yesterday, doctor said they I have DCIS. I'm falling apart, sooooo scared. I'm 30 with 2 little ones. I'm scheduled to have it removed next week. She said she will be removing an area roughly about a asize of a golf ball, thats a lot to me. She wants to biopsy my lymph node cause she said its high grade DCIS. What is that mean? more agressive? So many things going thru my mind, right now I'm just scared with so many questions. She said its precancer and I'll have a surgery, radiaiton and done. But Its not that easy for me. Its my body that is harboring this monster. How do I get rid of this? I feel like my life will never be normal again, I'm walking in a daze ever since I found this lump. What are my chances of them finding some invasive cells?

Sorry for complaining, I just don't know what to do.....
