IDC-Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

I myself diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma 5mm stage one 3/25/26, breast cancer is not in my family history and apparently it doesn’t have to be but when I was age 16 and now age 62 my mother was in nursing school for RN licensing and she made sure her daughters knew how to perform a breast exam, I did one night and felt something lumpy we go to the doctor and it was benign and removed never had any other symptoms or issues until 44ys later and with mammograms repeat and biopsy it turned positive and I then had surgery Friday May 8th following surgery healed well (thank you Jesus) but with everything in me I don’t want to participate in radiation but for prevention my husband and daughter wants me to, it’s for every other day five days so guess I’m doing it. Starts tomorrow afternoon. I wish ALL of you beautiful souls the best options, choices and great health GOD Bless you all 💜
