I hate to break it to you PP  but we will all die for sure.

op what stage is the the cancer? How aggressive is it? I was just diagnosed with DCIS and was told that if I did nothing I had a better than 50/50 chance of the cancer never spreading or impacting my health. The odds of that are also not zero for some stage one cancers. Other cancers will kill you matter what you do.

That said most breast cancers are highly treatable. In the end I had a lumpectomy. It was a super easy surgery and I have no scar. Even the oncologist could not find the scar and said she couldn't tell which breast had the surgery. Also there are studies for DCIS where they take a watchful waiting approach. Of that is the path you choose, would you consider being part of a study to further our understanding?[/quote]

If in DC area, which doctor and hospital did you go to? Thanks![/quote]

Lucy De La Cruz at Georgetown. Amazing surgeon and great bedside manner too.[/quote]
