My (20) Mum (57) had her biopsy results today and was diagnosed with Grade 3 ductal carcinoma with high grade DCIS. (ER and HER2 positive). More information given next week. Been doing my research today but am a little confused - is ductal carcinoma breast cancer or pre-breast cancer? Is it intensive? I've seen it described as 'Stage 0' but it is spreading quickly so am confused about that. Not sure about lymph nodes etc. Anyone with any experience or information able to help me?

Thanks so much.
