desmoplastic IDC anyone??
i have just been diagnosed. one week now. all i know so far is invasive ductal carcinoma. its high grade on nottingham gradinf scale so that scares me. there is another word that scares ne more thoug...
thanks to both of you for the reassurance that I am not insane with these mood swings being so speedy. I did see the surgeon yesterday and am booked in for a mastectomy on the 20th, so three weeks time. I feel a little more knowing at least. He did talk about chemo and said that will be taking some nodes and will only know about chemo then. He also said though that chemo is not always as bad as you see on TV hmmm I dont know. I guess I will just tackle it when it comes, Its the practical things that are the things really getting to me. Like he said on the morning of surgery I have to go to PRP radiology and have dye injected near the cancer and also under the arm. but when I called them they said I would have to be lying down? I just dont know how that will work!!! How can they go ahead with the surgery if they cant do the dye???
