    Hi, I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in January and have been on EC-T chemotherapy. I have completed the three cycles of EC, have had one cycle of the T ( which for me is docetaxel), with three more to go. I am triple positive so have now started phesgo injections along side the docetaxel, which will continue for a year. I am due to have a mastectomy after I finish chemo, then radiotherapy. I will also go onto hormone blockers for 5-10 years. Although not quite the same, your journey is similar to mine. I wish you well moving forward. Xx
