Invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC): Anyone else?

I am 47 years old next Saturday.

Here is my history:

8/15 - Had a random mammogram. Didn't do one since 2016
8/17 - They called me to come back for another mammogram and ultrasound
8/23 - A second mammogram was performed + ultrasound. The radiologist told me that I have three masses in my left breast, one is cancerous. It was the hardest day (days) in my life.
9/7 - Had a biopsy at Mount Sinai
9/9 - Received the report that said: two cancerous masses in my left breast: Ductal Carcinoma in Situ, invasive, Her2 - negative, ER - positive. Tumor sizes under 2.5cm one and the other under 1.5cm
9/21 - Met with the surgeon Dr. Elisa Port from Mount Sinai. She is a good surgeon, but I would like to see Dr. Alexandra H.
10/13 - Meeting with Dr. Alexandra H. - Memorial Sloan Kettering. It feels right to meet her for a second opinion. I might choose her as a surgeon.

I’m sorry that this is something you must go through… as we, in this group, all have. It’s a traumatic experience to be told what we have been told!

I think you are definitely on the right track to get a second opinion about treatment options. MSK is a good place to get that. Mount Sinai is also a great option.

Best of luck on the 13th. Warm hugs 🌸
