Hello Ladies!

When I was first diagnosed two weeks ago with IDC and DCIS I was in shock and just needed an outlet so I post on this site without realizing there is a section for young women Now that U have found my home I'm happy we have a network of potential support and I wanted to say a big hello and that we all can get through this together.

Some stats on me....

ER+( 80%)

PR + (50%)

IDC 3cm and two satellite DCIS lesion in left breast

Right breast was biopsied after a something was detected during an MRI, results will be in tomorrow....

1st opinion meeting with MO is this week....

2nd opinion with is next week...

I'll attempt to keep you all updated.

Make it a great week!

Hi Jinx27,

I was diagnosed at 40, and just wanted to say hi and let you know that these boards are slow during the weekend. There is a "Ladies in their 20s" thread with (sadly) many young women in their 20s (as well as a thread for Ladies in their 30s). I am so sorry that you have to face this diagnosis but glad that you found this board where you will find a lot of support. I wish you all the best in your treatment.

Hi all,

I'm 29, just got the news Monday about my IDC diagnosis.

Monday bought a lot of fear, but Tuesday, and my meeting with my breast surgeon, brought information, which I found very empowering. Today has brought a new positive outlook.

From what I know, here are my stats:

IDC, Grade 3, ER+ (>95%), PR+ (1-10%), HER2 equivocal (FISH test being done as we speak)

There was also some DCIS, Grade 2

It also looks like there are no nodes involved, and the clinical diagnosis is Stage 1A to 1B. There are three very surprised doctors who all said they would be "shocked" if this wasn't a fibroadenoma, as it's acting like one, shaped like one, etc. Such is life.

I have an MRI on Friday to verify nothing else is going on. I also have a genetic test, so I can make an informed decision about surgical options. Once results are in, October 6 I meet with the "team" to discuss surgical options and next steps.

I was married August 1, and am so thankful for my husband, who has been the most supportive person ever. I was pretty sure the "honeymoon stage" didn't involve these kinds of things, but here we are.

I'm happy to find a place to talk to other young women who are going through this. Here's hoping that time and positivity help.
