Understanding Early Breast Cancer

http://www.mybreastcancertreatment.org/

Oncotype DX has done a nice job of designing a website for early breast cancer.

Although it is to create interest in their test it has good information about DCIS, and additional links to other sources of information.

I know there are many new members who are trying to wrap their heads around what their diagnosis means and I hope it will be a helpful resource in understanding breast cancer that has been found at Stage 0 to Stage 1.

Web MD has Dealing With Breast Cancer?

I didn't go all the way through, but it could be a good tool for the newly diagnosed.
