Invasive ductal carcinoma - friends and family seem to be distancing themselves from me. It's breaking my heart.

Hi my name is Tina

I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma on 31st March

I had my surgery on April 22nd 2026 I had to have sentinel node removed as well so 2 scars, I'm finding that most people including some family have distanced themselves I'm heartbroken, has this happened to any one else?

  • Well the cancer had spread to the lymph nodes but the surgeon removed 11 and the surrounding area was clear, I have been put on chemo tablets and radiotherapy will start in 4 weeks as he said I have to heal from surgery 1st the sessions could be 5 - 15 or maybe more and will be every day Monday to Friday 

    I also have to have a bone density scan and have been put on letrozole which I have to have for 5 years, it could have been worse
