Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
Hello members. If anyone has been through this cancer let me know what is gong on? I am confused with surgeon saying remove the whole breast (mastectomy) or lumpectomy with chemo. I can not decide.
IDC bilateral ER+/PR+, HER2-. Caught very early on and very small. Each side is less than 0.7 and 0.4 cm on the other. Diagnosed on 11/2/25. Surgery date 12/11/25.

I am 14yrs post ER/PR stage one. My doc says I'm low on testosterone, and that is the reason for all my symptoms in menopause.

Hi my name is Deanna and I am 48 I recently went to the ER for a lump that is really hurting. So I got an biopsy and a CT scan done , and went a couple of weeks ago to the surgical oncologist for the results.

Hello! I'm 56 yrs old and found my lump a year ago. It appeared almost overnight and I assumed it was a cyst or a byproduct of the life long fibrocystic disease I had growing up. Finally broke down and had it checked. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Stage 2, Grade 3, Estrogen positive, Her2 positive. I am scheduled for a…
it’s been a whirlwind since I was diagnosed with breast cancer. After the lumpectomy they said it was stage 2a with 2 lymph nodes affected, which they removed. I had a cat scan afterwards with a slightly suspicious node nearby. I had been told that I would have radiation for 4 weeks followed by hormone blockers for 5 years…
