Hello,and welcome to the online network!! I was in the same place as you,18 months ago.I had invasive ductal carcinoma,grade 2,and I was scared witless!!! The best piece of advice I can give you is to take it one day at a time.Focus on TODAY,as looking ahead only causes anxiety,for yourself and those around you.Your prognosis is EXCELLENT,and remember that BC these days is very treatable.We are so fortunate to live in a country with the latest treatments,and I can honestly say,that I feel healthier now,than at any other time in my life.Stay connected on here for support and advice,and before you know it,you will be on the other side and wondering to yourself why you were so worried!!!!!Sending a big cyber hug your way xox Cheers Robyn
