Just diagnosed, in treatment, or finished treatment for IDC.
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…
I’m having a hard time with the fact that my grade 3 tumor had LVI. My oncologist doesn’t think it’s a big deal since my nodes or negative, but I’ve read a lot of mixed info online about it and it keeps me up at night. Hoping that someone who has been through it can help me understand what this means as far as my…

Hi diagnosed last year with a primary breast cancer aggressive Grade 3 in two nodes. I wondered if anyone had long-term survivor stories. I'm terrified of secondary and have read lots of posts of survival but they tend to be stage 3 but grade 1 or maybe 2. Is there anyone with a Grade 3 in nodes with a positive story.…
had lumpectomy not clear so need mastectomy scheduled for 29/9/25 lymph nodes clear but worried it will spread before then. Surgeon says it won't but when diagnosed told it was 17mm and after lumpectomy told it was 32mm so doubled in 6 weeks
Age: 51 IDC stage 1 (possible2) right breast Estrogen Positive Tomorrow, I see my breast surgeon again, and I am supposed to share with him if I want to go for a Lumpectomy or mastectomy. If I did a mastectomy, I would do a double mastectomy. I have been thinking and thinking. In one way, it would be easier to do a…
