Anybody with my diagnoses doing well?

I too am close to your diagnosis although my type is rare, Invasive Lobular.  I am two year survivor today!!!!  I also had a bilateral mastectomy with a DIEP, 16 chemos and 33 radiations and I'm doing really well. 

If you need some additional words of encouragement, I would head over to the 3 years survivors boards etc and you'll find many with your diagnosis.  Also would also recommend a book entitled, There's No Place Like Hope.  It got me through some dark times and is now highlighted in 4 different colors of highlighter....it's a must.  Hang in there and don't hesitate to reach out whenever you need words of encouragement.

I would say we are close, but I am not Er+.  I was slightly Pr+ but it was soo little that they consider it negative.  But I had multifocal tumors, and Her2+, had a tumor roughly the same size as yours (well the largest one), extensive DCIS and four positive nodes. I realize I am not really all that far out here. Had Mastectomy, TCH and 33 rads, no Reconstruction. I am also a grade II due to a low mitonic score (1, the rest were 3) Welcome! 

Hi Sissydi,

I' m quite close to your dx too ! It's early stage still!

Best wishes and take care!

I'll be three years out in April and there is light at the end of the tunnel (and, no, it's not an oncoming train!) Hang in there (((hugs)))

There really aren't many with this diagnosis, are there?  I have the same, I think!  I didn't get an official stage because my tumor was "too big for surgery" and I did chemo first, but my nodes were matted so from what I saw that made me stage IIIa.  I had one node confirmed cancerous by biopsy, and three more that were notably enlarged in the ultrasound, so I'm sure I had more involved.  I had my UMX on Oct 5, and will get path report tomorrow.
