Hi @Jenny66, not much more I can add to Amazonia's post but I wanted to welcome you to the forum. I'm very sorry you find yourself here but it is a great place to find support and information from women and men who truly understand.
There is a huge amount of information to take in at first and we seem to be tossed into a whirlwind of tests and appointments. You will feel more in control once you get your final pathology and there is a clear treatment plan.
I had my surgery 1/8/16 and the past 12 months has flown. I had a 12mm invasive ductal carcinoma. I chose a left nipple sparing mastectomy with an immediate implant. I was very fortunate in having early detection through a routine mammogram - Grade 1, stage 1, 3 clear lymph nodes. No chemo or radiation, but I am on a hormone blocker for at least 5 years as my cancer was 100% receptive to both Oestrogen and Progesterone.
There is so much to take in during appointments so I started jotting down all my questions in a notebook (no question is silly!) because I was bound to forget to ask something when speaking with the doctor.
Everyone here has had a different diagnosis and treatment but we have all been where you are today.
You are not alone in this Jenny, we are here for you. Take care and keep in touch. Jane xx
