Breast cancer ( Ductal Carcinoma )

Hey everyone. I was diagnosed yesterday with Ductal Carcinoma its 2cm tumour in the upper breast and is effecting 3 lmpth nodes. My Dr was very positive yesterday and when i asked if it was treatable he said yes!  And even asked me if i wanted to preserve my eggs for any future pregnancies.

Its shocking when your the one in that seat and never thought you would be.. im 33 year old with a 2 year old girl. They told me i was lucky i found it and i came in. Apparently the Dr said its a common type of cancer and treatable. Anyone else out there as the same type? Because of my age im getting chemo first and its going to be aggressive treatment thrown at me.. sounds like a bumpy ride and im scared but also i know i need to do it and remain strong.. i want to see my baby grow up! Im.staying away from.google too. Please anyone who as had this or is going through this please message me your positive stories. Thank you x

  • Hi GL91, so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's such a  stressful time for you, especially being so young, with a young child. I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma in January and was put on EC-T chemo first. 3 cycles of EC and 4 T (for me this is docetaxel). So far I have had 6 cycles with minimal side effects and have my last cycle on the 9th of July. Try not to be scared, it may not be as bad as you think. I've tried to have a positive mindset throughout and I'm sure this has kept my side effects to a minimum. I did lose my hair, but it has already started growing back, even before finishing chemo.. I've cut out all alcohol and have been eating healthily. I've also been walking 2 1/2 miles everyday throughout my treatment. I wish you well on your journey moving forward. Xx
