Hi, 

In shock, I have got diagnosis today with Invasive Ductual Breast Cancer,

Two lumps one in my breast & the other in my armpit,

Worse case is a mastectomy which I'm hoping not,

Having chemotherapy 6 times every 3 wks,

will be having op in 7 months which I hope it's just my lumps out & chemo has worked. 

  • Hi , I see you have not yet had a reply. A lot of people on the forum have had chemotherapy first, and found that the tumour(s) have shrunk by the end if it, giving them better options. Sorry cannot think of their names to tag them, but hopefully they will see the post and reply. Good luck.

    Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!

    Hi , welcome to the group. I was also diagnosed with invasive ductal breast cancer last October. I have completed 3 of 6 chemo sessions and had an ultrasound last Monday to check progress. I have one lump in my breast and a smaller one in my lymph node. Both have shrunk to half their original size so far. All looking positive for a lumpectomy, fingers crossed. Good luck with your treatment, hope all goes well for you xxx

  • Hello caren64,

    I had 7 chemos before surgery and my lumps completely disappeared as did the cells in my lymph node. What type of BC do you have? 

    Love julie x
