HI Vanessa,

I have early stage breast cancer with tumour type being "invasive medullary carcinoma" effects just under 4% of woman but closesly  related to (IDC) invasive ductal carcinoma. My tumour in my left breast was quite large ( 45mm) it was like it popped out as there was no way I would have missed it. Normally these types of tumours are benign hense being less common for cancers.. My grade is 3 stage aggressive, margins were clear with lymph nodes only having cancer in one of 30. Had an axillary clearance. Hormans negative. I've had left mastectomy in October - diagnosed on pink ribbon day!  I look at it like a good oman. once Taxol is finished with start radiotherapy for 6 wks. Like you can't wait for this to be over with. Looking like end of July. Yes, I agree about the hair. Lost mine after first treatment of AC still have my eyebrows and eyelashes. Hope I don't lose those with Taxol but I might. My oncologist said my hair might grow back during Taxol we'll see. It would be great if it did. Can't do the wigs but have a wardrobe full of bandanas and scarves for every occassion! lol Nice to hear from you, look forward to hearing how you get on. Take care, Donna xx
