So sorry to hear of your mother's diagnosis. The good news is though, that DCIS is non invasive so if that is the case, she may only need radiation and bypass chemo. I hope so. You are both in my prayers.

I am so sorry to hear of your Mom's diagnosis. Hopefully you will be able to help her navigate through this because of the experience you already have. But I am just so sorry.
