Welcome, @jussnunu. Deep breath. I know this is a shock and a lot to take in. You're asking all the right questions. But is sounds like there is still more investigation necessary to know more about your tumor.

Let's get you connect with other members who have IDC. To do this I moved your message to this existing discussion:

- Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC): Anyone else? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/invasive-duct-ca/

I did this so you can read past posts and connect easily with @sandyrob @flowers7777 @mugs24cancer @anjalima @sequoia @cadunkin @aej1954 @hkc9890. They know what this is like.

As you prepare for your appointment with the oncologist, I suggest writing down your questions. Maybe you'd like to share your question list with the group and we can make suggestions. What do you think?
