About Dottyd

Hi all. I was diagnosed with dcis in Sept 2016. Intermediate grade. Had surgery 18 October 2016 and now awaiting results. Am expecting radiotherapy. I have found dcis to be a 'strange old thing' it seems to fall between everything else connected with breast cancer. I fully appreciate that it is all early days and for want of better a phrase 'I'm lucky' and my journey is not as difficult as many here. However being selfish it is still in essence a similar journey with all the same feelings, fears and emotions. I'm still facing / faced surgery and loss of my sense of womanhood. Anyway enough for now. I look forward to meeting you all.... and facing this thing together x
