Hello, i was diagnosed 2 days ago and have no words to tell you what i am feeling.The breast surgeon gave me the news that the biopsy report taken from a lump
in breast showed a cancer and cancer in lymph nodes under armpit.I was a wreck and was so upset that he didnt really say anything else other than he will arrange a CT scan and blood tests to check for further issues.Today i looked at my health record on the NHS app and it states that i have grade 1 ductal cancer on one side and grade 2 ductal on other side with a high grade DCIS. Please help me understand, i thought that DCIS meant it was contained in the milk ducts and not grown outside the breast tissue? so is the armpit duct involvement a different thing?
