Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC): Anyone else?

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:

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?

@colleenyoung Thank you so much ! I do have a few questions can you see if its possible to ask the oncologist for my appointment?
Based on the size of the tumor and my age, can I go with lumpectomy instead of a mastectomy?
Can I avoid chemotherapy? Because I'm only 34, I really don't want to deal with hair loss. I know the fact that I will be depressed. What treatment plan would I need ?
Going through cancer and will have treatment, can I still be able to have kids since I just got married.
