I was diagnosed with Invasive "fast moving" Ductal Carcinoma In-situ in Oct. of 2001. I did not have a lump - so there was no "knowing" of the cancer... the only way that I found out was I had a mammogram that caught a small section of it. The majority of the tumor was up by my arm pit. I went in for my biopsy and sure enough it was cancer. I was to have chemo and radiation therapy. The chemo was to be aggressive. When I had the lumpectomy about two weeks after the biopsy my diagnosis had changed to pre-cancer... I was in shock! I believe that I had a miracle take place - I did not have to have the chemo - I ended up having the radiation therapy which I finished up in the Spring of 2002. All has been well since then. I feel very "blessed" to have had this happen to me - it could of been so much worse.
