Hey @Victoria1, Welcome. Here's a link that explains grades and stages of breast cancer https://canceraustralia.gov.au/affected-cancer/cancer-types/breast-cancer/diagnosis/stages-breast-cancer. I was diagnosed last may with early BC in tumor form. The lump was too big to be removed and to have my breast look normal under clothing and they also thought I had a satellite cancer as well. So a skin and nipple sparing mastectomy with immediate reconstruction using implant later I'm a new me!! Didn't have to have chemo or radiotherapy and I'm 15 months post surgery and going great guns!!! You will get through this, there will be fear and tears but you are diagnosed and that is the best thing cause now you can be treated!!! Ask all the questions you can or need to cause apart from anything else knowledge of what your facing can help reduce the fear levels. Big hug to you. Keep us informed of how your doing. Xx Cath
