DCIS diagnosis

My journey started in June 2022, I'm 39 and a mum to 3 young boys. I felt lump one night and got it checked at my GP who referred me to the breast clinic. I had a physical exam and the consultant said she wasn't concerned as the lump was moveable but sent me for an ultrasound to double check.

the ultrasound showed a mass and they couldn't distinguish if it was a fibroadenoma or more serious, so took a biopsy but gave me a leaflet all about fibroadenoma as this is what she was certain it was.

a long 2 week wait and I got my results yesterday, it is DCIS. I'm devastated. The dr and lovely macmillan nurse have tried to reassure me that I have caught so so early that it will be ok but that doesn't stop the worry and panic and fear I feel, especially when I look at my boys. 
 

I am now waiting for a second biopsy and MRI to help distinguish the borders of some calcifications then it will mean surgery and probably radiotherapy. 
 

I am so scared but I've got this!! It won't stop me!!

    Sorry to meet you here and thst you've had that shocking news.

    Well done to you for spotting a lump so early and like your team have said it's very treatable. I know that won't stop the worry you have and the feelings your going through.

    I too am going through similar. Found a lump , had referral to breast clinic,  had the examination ,uss and biopsy. I was told last week I've got stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. Was told too it's an early stage tumor but I've had an MRI and CT and have to wait an agonising 2-3 weeks for results .

    You're not alone xxxxx

    Stay busy and strong you've totally got this xx
