Hi, I had a small invasive ductal cancer behind the nipple basically 1cm². Biopsy on 24 November, diagnosed 4 December, removed along with the nipple and a few lymph nodes on 13 January. I am lucky, I know this but I really don't feel like I have cancer. Still in denial really. Just feel that I have gone through a life changing, painful operation for nothing. Does this sound similar to anyone else?
