Are Ya Kidding Me? An Adventure with DCIS

Are Ya Kidding Me? An Adventure with DCIS

DCIS (Ductal Carcinoma In Situ) is the most common form of non-invasive breast cancer. Every year 60,000 women are diagnosed with DCIS in the US alone. DCIS accounts for 20% of new breast cancer cases. Given the prevalence of DCIS itâ€™s surprising that DCIS is not better known by the general public.

When Barbara Plum Terrell got her diagnosis, she fought back. She applied her project management skills to manage her cancer recovery like a project at work. She educated her colleagues about DCIS by showing them the micro-calcifications on her mammogram images. She kept her co-workers, friends and family apprised of her status with â€˜The Barb Reportâ€™, an email chronicle of Barbaraâ€™s diagnosis, surgery, radiation treatment, and life after DCIS.

"Are Ya Kidding Me" is a candid, humorous, and sometimes graphic account of Barbaraâ€™s experience with DCIS. If you have received a DCIS diagnosis, read "Are Ya Kidding Me" to learn what to expect during your recovery process. If someone close to you has DCIS, this book will help you understand what she is going through. Are Ya Kidding Me focuses entirely on DCIS. This book is not a medical textbook, itâ€™s an account of what happens when someone like you gets a DCIS diagnosis.

Renowned mystery writer Tony Hillerman said, "Anyone who believes it would be utterly impossible to produce charming and witty essays about breast cancer had better not bet on it because Barbara Terrell has done it! Her essays are not only cheerful, they give you an up-close and exactly accurate look at this dreaded disease."
