Grade 1 IDC

MSWife

Looking for people who share a diagnosis of Grade 1 IDC(any stage, but particularly those with later stage disease) and what your experiences have been with treatment, metastasis, etc.

Thanks!

mswife….there are a few with grade 1 and later stage. Itlooks like your wife has been hitting it hard with treatment. That said, she should do well. If you familiarize yourself with this board…you will see that breast cancer is a crap shoot. For most, you do the treatment, whether it be a few months, a few years or longer and you move on. That said, she should do well!

just re-posting to bump this up on the boards - anyone out there with a GRADE 1 tumour that underwent chemo? Or with advanced lymph node involvement or mets? I’m curious about responses to chemo and other treatments.

Thanks!

Hi MSwife,

I guess this applies to me. I have ER/PR pos (100%), HER2 pos, and did neoadjuvant chemo. Biopsy was grade 2 but after chemo the path report said grade 1, and that chemo had no effect. Stage 3a, 35mm tumor of which 15mm was IDC, 5 pos nodes.

Everything is being re-tested because it's 'rare' to have a grade 1 HER2+ tumor. They're thinking this thing is more hormone driven so hopefully that side of things will work. Given I'm still in the thick of treatment I can't give you any report on longevity! 😉

Thank you for your response! And sorry you're dealing with this

That's frustrating that the chemo didn't do very much - that's what I've been reading as well when it comes to hormone positive, grade 1 tumours. My husband is having additional surgery in 2 weeks (axillary node dissection) so I guess we'll have an idea then of any response.

Having said that, the hormonal treatments do seem to be thebig guns for this type of cancer so fingers crossed for that!

Please keep me updated on how things are going for you
