Hello all,
I have been diagnosed today with Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma hormone positive. Have to make the decision about whether I go for breast conserving surgery or mastectomy. I would be interested to hear how other people decided. I have also been referred for urgent genetics as I have a strong family history. I guess that any results from this may affect my decision re surgery. In a strange way, Looks like radiotherapy but hopefully not chemotherapy. it is a bit of a relief to know what I am up against. The lump was picked up on a routine mammogram five weeks ago.
Hi Roisin
i was diagnosed with Grade 1 IDC two small areas. her2- and er+
i was offered either surgery and had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal on the 03/05. Results 18/05. Been told pathology could change diagnosis results. 
It doesn’t and I’m on to radium and hormone tablets.
I have a strong family history too so onco type test is also being done. Not sure if that’s a genetic testing
hope all goes well with your decision the waiting for results is the absolute worst. X
Absolutely agree. One day everything is ok next I hit a brick wall but each day is one day closer to fighting this. That’s my only hope. The results waiting is the worst part.
I try and watch gogglebox before I go to sleep as it’s lighthearted and takes my mind off thinks for a little while.
alone is so right as everyone battle us different and being a single parent I haven’t even got someone to talk to on a night time. So it is alonely disease.
friends text or call and at times I want that then I don’t.
just hope there is light at the end of the tunnel and we get through the other side 
big hugs and lots of love x
