I was diagnosed in September of last year.I am a 59 year old also,and like you,I was knocked for six when I found out I had BC.My diagnosis was the same as yours,but I had a larger cancer.I chose a single mastectomy and then had chemo.One year on,I feel better than I ever have.I feel it is really important to be guided by your doctor,as each cancer has its own unique pathology,and the doctor is the one that truly understands this.Try to remember Barbara,that BC these days is very treatable,and most ladies go on to live long,healthy lives.Invasive ductal carcinoma is the most common BC at our age.It is great news that your nodes are clear.Mine were also.Stay in touch on here,as you will find that this network of AMAZING ladies,is the best place to get the support you need throughout your treatment.Cheers xox Robyn
