Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
I just was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma ER+ PR+ HER2+ on Dec 23rd, 2023 but still do not have an oncologist. I do not know what is normal for being diagnosed with cancer as I have never had cancer in my life before. I do not know the Stage or Grade of the tumour yet. I am in Canada.

Trying to decide between lumpectomy and radiation or bilateral mastectomy. Want to hear from some who have gone through each
Hello, I am hoping to connect with people who might have a similar situation to mine, although I think (?) my situation might be on the rare side. Six years ago I was diagnosed with Stage 1B IDC. I am BRCA2. I did a double mastectomy with reconstruction (implants) and was told chemo/radiation not needed since my tumor was…

He suggested the pellet and feels it is safe but I am so scared to try it! No Dr I've reached out to has said either way, just "no data to help us'. Hoping some people hear have had good guidance,…
Hello. I am new to this forum — actually I am new to any forum. This is my first-ever post of this nature. I have had a lumpectomy and radiation and now I'm taking estrogen suppression medications for 5 years. I want to do whatever I can to ensure this cancer never returns. Has anyone added mistletoe therapy to their…
