Hi, I was diagnosed with a grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma ER and PR positive and HER2 negative. Was completely out of the blue following a routine mammogram. Not sure if I’m the sort of person that likes to know everything or whether I would just like to leave it to the medical staff to guide me. I’m probably somewhere in between. My emotions are very up and down but I’m hoping that once I have the op I will start to feel a bit more focussed. I know that they will be looking to see if it has spread to my nodes. Does anyone know how long it takes before you know what the outcome is?
