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

    Hi Luisa I just had surgery on Monday  for grade 3 ductal carcinoma..I found out on the 13th August I had it after mammograms scans and biopsy. I was supposed to go for surgery on the 7th September but tested positive for covid,so my surgery got delayed til now. I was put on Tamoxifen to keep it at bay as mine is eostrogen driven, I'm sure you'll be taken in soon for treatment or surgery, good luck and I'm here if you need a chat. I go next Thursday for the results of lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy to see what further treatment is needed.. Stay strong and positive  xx

    Hi hope all goes well for you and the results are good Monday xx

    i have op on the 29th October and it can't come fast enough, I haven't been offered the tamoxifen yet but it is a her2+ cancer and lump is 19mm -22mm 

    saw surgeon yesterday and had pre op

     

    i have overwhelming exhaustion already so I'm quite scared of chemo as no doubt will be worse feeling 

     

    I wish no one had to have this it's awful and not great for mental health it's very hard to stay strong xxx
