I was diagnosed 5 years ago I had mastectomy and chemo and radiation and I am now cancer free.
First thing to do is take a deep breath...it's just too overwhelming otherwise, once you have definitive pathology and diagnosis you won't know exactly what it is and treatment. Early can mean alot of things. My first diagnosis was DCIS, that's the earliest you can get. My 2nd diagnosis 4yrs later was IDC Stage 2, Grade 3 ER+. Being Grade 3 was chemo, no rads as I did that for DCIS and you cannot do it twice. I am now 2yrs clear
yes I have also been diagnosed with Early Breast Cancer from
a mammogram. I have had surgery and have just started radiotherapy last week.
The specialists all are positive and finding it early is a good thing.
The first month was so scary but it does get easier.
Im in Melbourne, happy to chat if you wish - I'm just a bit further along from you,
diagnosed late June
take care
