DCIs with IDC / ER+ HER2-

A little bit about my journey:

Felt a lump early Nov 23, Dr’s fast-tracked biopsy within 2 weeks, results/consultation within another 2 weeks (I rang within a week and they gave me results over phone) DCIs - ok this is not as bad. Lumpectomy day surgery mid December, recovered really well. Results within 2 weeks (I rang again early and they gave me results over phone) within the DCIs they found 2 IDC lumps (4mm and 5mm) grade 2 so mid aggressive. Lymph node day surgery early Jan 24 to see if it had spread (negative - phew) recovery a little harder, still numb in armpit (I can’t feel the spray off my deodorant )

9 sessions of radiotherapy (currently having those 10.03.24) Hormone therapy (Tamoxifen) for the next 5 years. 

The waiting is the hardest, my cancer team are fantastic, calling early for results helped me deal with the news. 

My advice is try not to loose yourself in Google

Anyone have similar results? 

Take care all xxx

  • Hello Retty,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and thank you for posting about your journey. I'm pleased to here you've having a positive experience with your cancer team, do lean on them if you have any questions or concerns. Your advice of keeping away from Google is good, as it tends to make you feel more stressed rather than actually being of any help.

    Wishing you all the best with your continuing recovery,
