I was just diagnosed with invasive ductile carcinoma. I'm in my third tri and trying to figure out the next steps. Any advice or experiences would be much appreciated.

    hi star2017,

    Yes! There are more of us than you would think. I was diagnosed in May during the second trimester. I had surgery, did four rounds of chemo and delivered a healthy baby naturally at 38 weeks. I just finished radiation two weeks ago.

    Feel free to PM me if you want to talk. Sending you big hugs

I was very surprised at how well my body bounced back, though of course, my new normal is very different than prior to cancer. Luck be with you and solidarity

    I am 16 weeks and recently diagnosed with breast cancer. I had my right mastectomy this week and will start chemo in about 4 weeks after healing. Then they’ll induce my labor at 35 weeks and I’ll finish chemo then start radiation. Herceptin and Tamoxifol(?) will be after delivery. I also have a 20 month old.

    In a year I will have a left mastectomy and recons
