Can you tell me what 'things' helped you the very most...and even what did not. Thanks ladies  http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/650537/103294/barneybba http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/650537/103248/barneybba Mon, 08 Feb 2010 22:23:49 -0500 barneybbarbie Well, i am 5 days post diagnosis. Seems like a lot longer somehow. I am supposed to be one of the lucky ones. DCIS- high grade (3), multifocal in my right breast. This is all new to my world. Absolutely no family history. As a matter of fact, i thought i had some 'right of passage' with all-things-healthy with my gene pool. Ahh haha..jokes on me! I have seen an Oncologist who really helped to answer a lot of questions as to what is going on in... http://www.healthcentral.com/breast-cancer/c/650537/103248/barneybba
