I went through the same thing when I was diagnosed with DCIS in June or July 2002 and had so much anxiety in me waiting until my biopsy was done in Sept. of same year. I was devasted when I went to see the surgeon and my family doctor. But with the advancement in the study & research of breast cancer now we do not not have to be scared. You're right in adopting a good attitude and I can say, from my experience, that this is what will get you through. You will sail through your radiation treatments with flying color with having always a positive attitude. I shall include you in my thoughts & prayers. Know that you are not in this alone. I am now in my eight year being a survivor, having done with taking Tamoxifen after radiation treatments of 16 plus 5 booster sessions. This is also my 8th year doing the CIBC/CBCF Run for the Cure.
