weren't what I was hoping for but I suppose at least now I know what is ahead of me in regards to surgery and treatment. I received my results on Friday and was a little teary for most of the day but now I am feeling quite good and ready to take on the challenge of overcoming this monster.
My diagnosis was Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Grade 3.
Here's a little information about the type of cancer it is:
IDC (Invasive Ductal Carcinoma): This is a cancer that begins in the milk duct but grows into the surrounding normal tissue inside the breast. This is the most common kind of breast cancer.
Grade 3: Grade 3 cancer cells have irregular shapes, stick together and are fast growing. This is called High Grade or Poorly Differentiated.This is the fastest growing grade.
My Oestrogen and progesterone receptors were both Negative and my HER2 was Negative (+1).
I am seeing the surgeon on Monday and will probably have surgery next week followed by radiation and chemo.
