Newly diagnosed today and feeling shattered.
Hi ladies, I have been hovering around these pages for a few days while waiting for my biopsy results to come in and hoping I could leave as quietly as I came. Unfortunately I am joining the group. M...
@nonkyboy a big Welcome to you, so sorry you had to actually post and didn't escape quietly. Please know, there's a mountain of support on the Forum, so much experience, compassion and understanding. You sound amazing, raising 3 Grandchildren, my hat goes off to you. I'm a single parent of 2 who are now older teenagers, but it's been a tough road.
In terms of your results, from what I can see you are ER+ which means you are hormone receptive positive that requires hormone blocker medication such as Tamoxifen or Arimidex etc., You are a grade 2. Thing is results from biopsies are always different to the lumpectomy, only then will you get the correct pathology. The biopsy is only a guide. Difficult to say what your treatment would be, you do have IDC and DCIS and depends how much and where as to what they would need to do. So really need to wait and see your Surgeon. I was ER+ IDC Grade 2 Stage 3, so it doesnt mention stage for you and thats where they determine chemo or not.
Hang tight for some answers, Hugs Melinda xo
