I'm 34 years old, and recently got married 6 months ago, still trying to get over the loss of a pregnancy. It was supposed to be the happiest and most blissful time of my life, especially just getting married, but few days ago I just got diagnosed with DCIS. I feel numb, scared and confused. I don't ask why me, but I am having a very difficult time dealing with it. I feel like I am a walking zombie, walking around with no emotion, and hollow inside. My husband isn't being emotionally supportive and I feel completely depressed and alone. I wish I could wake up from this nightmare.

    I am 37 and was dx with DCIS in march of this year. I understand your fear. It's something that can't be put into words. I immediately decided to go "Angelina Jolie" with a double mastectomy and complete reconstruction. This was my personal opinion, please know that a lumpectomy is an option as well. Once you and your BS decide on your course of treatment, you will begin to feel somewhat in control. Sending positive vibes and well wishes your way. I'm so sorry you have to join this sorority.

    sunshine - I am sorry that you have to join this club. Yes, it should have been a happy time. There are a lot of treatments for DCIS. Once you have more specs to the diagnosis and hear some treatment options, you will be able to move forward.

    hi sunshine, sorry your going through this and that you feel alone. I was diagnosed last year I'm 37. I also went Angelina Jolie and right now recovering from reconstruction. Remember your not alone. There are a lot of breast cancer support groups at your local hospital. I think once you've got your treatment plan you will feel a bit better. Don't forget u can Also go see a therapist or counselor. I do and it helps. Hugs
