Hi all
I have just been diagnosed with IDC grade 3 (27/06/16). still trying to work out what that really means beyond "you have breast cancer". We have no breast cancer in our family.

Annette,
I wish you all the best.. I too am a newly diagnosed IDC stage 2 with lesions 3cm. at this stage i have no node involvement but until I have the skin sparing mastectomy on July 25th I will not know anything more. I had a bone scan on Wednesday and a CT chest, pelvis and abdo on Tuesday No mets .. woohoo ..
I do have some other things that the CT found but I can work those out. Just know that I also didnt want my friends and family saying .. it will be ok .. cos it wont and it will be what it is .. but I also know that each day is like ground hog day and there does not seem to be a light at the end of the tunnel but Im sure there will be when the time is ready.
I did not and do not have a family history also and I never knew I had Cancer cos i did not find mine as it is lesions not lumps and the Mammogram was what has saved my life... turning 50 at Christmas and the Bus at Camden was a god send for me. My Surgeon thinks I have had this for around 12 months so that is why it is now stage 2.
We are all in this journey together now whether we want it or not .. hold you head high and cry when you need to and scream and yell but know we are all here for each other to get through this.
My thoughts are with you ...
