So, I am newly diagnosed with IDC found with a lump by my collarbone. A real wakeup call. The last 3 weeks I have made drastic life changes, mostly diet. Gave up red meat, hubbies cooking (he always tries but sabotages, good cook and I was eating huge portions) and started eating small meals of good food, cut all bad carbs…
This is new for me. I can't sleep so I thought I would try to connect. I had a mamo, then a mamo with ultra sound, then a mamo with biopsy, and then an mri. I was supposed to schedule surgery but just found out I have to have a MRI with biopsy [my surgeon was sensitive enough to post it in my chart and schedule though we…
I’m 95% sure I’m going to go double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery using my more than ample abdominal fat. Looks like it’s very localized dcis and small. Lymph nodes look fine.

I was just diagnosed, and I'm meeting with my surgeon today. what questions should I be asking and what else should I be thinking about. Thats probably a very big question, it all feels very overwhelming. I just found this site yesterday, any other sites I should visit? thank you for your help.
I just got diagnosed with IDC stage 4 right breast and right armpit lymph node. They haven't biopsed the left breast yet but they want to asap! My question is isn't more important to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else in my body before the slightly suspicious left breast?? Its been really hard getting STRAIGHT…
I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma, two large masses in my left breast. HER negative, estrogen/progesterone positive. My radiologist told me she was pretty positive it was cancer before official results, which was really helpful for me to process. I’m meeting with the oncologist and surgeon next week. I’ve been…
