VERY newly diagnosed Mucinous breast cancer
I found out less than 2 days ago that I have the relatively rare mucinous breast cancer, 3cm in size in one breast... what a shock, and am just starting my journey. I have been reading up on breast ca...
Hello @Taji, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in July 2016. My tumour was mixed 60% no special type & 40% mucinous. Even though it is is rare I understand 100% mucinous carcinoma usually are not aggressive & don't spread to lymph nodes. Mine was aggressive as it had micropapillary architecture & 3 lymph nodes had cancer. The doctors don't really focus on the type of tumour & they are not treated any differently from other types, I had mastectomy, chemo & radio but hopefully you may not need this. Mine was also hormone positive & I am on Femara. You will have a plan soon & things will be much clearer. Good luck & let us know how you are going.
