    Hi Humsa,

    We're sorry you and your mom are going through this -- but glad you found us here at Breastcancer.org! Others should be posting their advice shortly, but in the meantime, you may want to check out the main Breastcancer.org site's section about IDC for some in depth information on the diagnosis, treatment, and follow up care for IDC.

    Also, the Your Diagnosis section has lots of great info about reading your mother's pathology report and what each piece (such as hormonal status, her2 status, etc.) means.

    We hope this helps!
