Hi!I My name is Karen. I'm newly diagnosed with ductal invasive carcinoma. Two months ago the mammogram was fine. I changed BC and then noticed a lump and had bloody discharge. I have been going to dr's recently.

I have a long way to go, just have good days and other days I cry. I enjoy staying busy. Just wanted to hear from others. Thanks

    Sorry to hear of your diagnosis.  I remember those crying days in the beginning.  The tears just came from nowhere.  It has been over three years for me, now.  I had a bilateral masectomy and chemo.  Now I take tamoxifin.  My diagnosis was stage 1, er/pr positive, no node involvement, but I did chemo because it was present in my vascular system.  Do you know what stage or what your plan of action is going to be?  It was helpful for me to search the internet, especially Breastcancer.org in the initial stage of my disease.  I felt more informed and empowered.  Best of luck, Becky

    Becky, Thanks for your words. We are still waiting on genes and to see if it is present in vascular or nodes involved. If you had bilateral it is wiser to do the tummy tuck or the implants? I have horrible side effects from the implants. The expander hurts, that they sometimes deflate. To me they do not look natural. I am contemplating the tummy tuck more natural and it is my skin. I'm not sure where to turn as of yet. I;m just waiting now for results and taking one day at a time. For me I have polycycstic ovaries so that tamoxifin may not be helpful. I'm not good on hormone drugs. hopefully we can find something that works and no more cancer in the body. Thanks, karen

    I'm new here.  My name is Beth, and I was diagnosed with IDC in Dec'08 with several lymph nodes affected, so had to have a mastectomy after a failed lumpectomy.  At first, I cried, and asked why me??  We all do, AND IT'S OK!!!! I'd rather be here without a breast, than 3 feet under!!! WE CAN DO THIS GIRLS!!! We have our families, and also each other! Let's kick cancer in the butt, and get it out of lives.  You girls are in my thoughts and prayers
