Sorry I haven't been on in a few days. I went to see the Nurse Navigator and she herself is a fifteen years survivor! She was very helpful and I learned alot; but I'm still quite overwhelmed, thank goodness my sister came either me So far all I know it's an IDC and is grade two. I will be going for an MRI this morning and then to see the Surgeon this coming Tuesday. While it's very worrying, I'm really eager to start my treatment

It is very worrying, but let us know what the pathology reveals. It will help your medical team determine treatment. I was so surprised by the # of women who were dx when I went through dx, appts and initial tests/dx. I found out my dental hygienist is a 20 year survivor (her doc in Tennessee told her she'd never have children after her tx, she went ahead and had three afterwards), and a hospital worker I met while seeing if my insurance would cover tx at MD Anderson (shared that she was a some-years survivor, too). It's actually pretty cool when you meet so many women who have come through just fine. It gave me a lot of hope in the beginning, as did all the posts on this site.
