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

  • How did you feel after 5 days full on radiotherapy. 
    thanks for replying 

  • It was remarkably fine, I was really worried baout the deep breathing but they were really good at coaching you through it. I am really glad that I didn't have to go for 3 weeks, which is what it was pre covid so I think myself lucky.  My boob has been fine and I am using e45 cream on it. How are you doing?
