Surprising diagnosis - grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma

Hi all, 

so, after finding a lump last month on my tiny boobs I booked an appointment to see the doctor. I’ve got a slight family history of bc and knew the risks. But, I’ve had a scare before, so I was prepared for biopsy, etc, and a talking to about changes etc. 

I had a biopsy and scans on Thursday last week and was told it was a Fibroadenoma, not to worry I’m only 32, yadda ya. I got a call for results today.

As soon as I walked in the (lovely) consultant asked me to phone my husband and ask him to come in. At that point it clicked. 

So ive been diagnosed with a grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma. 

I feel kind of weird. I haven’t cried or anything, I feel numb I think. I don’t want to upset other people etc. Weird situation to be in !

anywho I have to wait for a few more results to know if we are going for chemo or surgery first, and I’ll know in a few weeks. Right now I’m just looking for a mate

    Had a grade 4, 15 years ago was given 6 months , was lucky got Herceptin on private health care ( now on NHS ) - but still here to talk about it, don't stress go with the flow, had cervical /Ovarian two years later still here . So best advice do what they tell you , find stuff to help the sickness, Marmite and Bovril are great. And listen to your body. Hope all goes well . Kick Cancer up the butt.

    Hi [@3rd.time]‍ , My goodness have you been though it. It is amazingly good to hear you are here 15 years on, it is so easy to let our minds run overtime without even needing Dr Google to help with that. Thank you so much for the tip - I LOVE both bovril and marmite - it’s definitely a love hate thing, I couldn’t even get hubby to put it on my toast or in a mug (He probably would at the moment, lol!). Keep on being well, and thank you so much for posting. All the very best, Lyn. X
