Invasive ductal cancer

Hi everyone

ive been diagnosed with invasive ductal cancer. Has anyone else had this and what were your treatment afterwards. They've said radiotherapy and 5 years tablets but they will look at chemotherapy after surgery to see if I need this. Anyone else had both. Thank you

  • Hi,

    Sorry you have been diagnosed with IDC  I have been too grade 2 in April, had lumpectomy and SNB in June, fortunately no lymph node involvement and low Oncotype score so I didn't need chemotherapy . I was initially put on letrozole pre op (due to covid) even though I'm pre menopausal. In my post op review I was changed to tamoxifen for 5 years and I've just finished a shortened course of radiotherapy of 5 days (also due to covid).  
    wishing you all the very best for your review x
