Hi all 

This seems a wonderful source of support , knowledge & expertise . I wondered if anyone could answer my query. 
I have been diagnosed with Stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma . I have had a wide excision & 2 lymph nodes removed . My drain has only just been removed & I am healing well with minimum discomfort . 
I have been told that I will have radiotherapy in 6 weeks , and that the decision regarding chemo depends on the pathology report . 

I just wondered about others experiences with this diagnosis & whether to prepare myself mentally for chemo . I have a mad busy year in front of me & Im just trying to plan . 
I feel strong & positive. 
This community that find myself part of is inspirational & Im drawing strength just reading your journeys . 
Sending hugs 

Sam
