Hi this is probably the scariest time but once you have all the details you will feel better. Some cancer start in the ducts or lobules of our breasts and when they leave those spots they call it invasive. They will tell you what kind you have and what your treatments will be. Then you will know what to expect. Usually they run tests so they can stage everything and give treatment accordingly. Thinking if you and you will get thru this. I had invasive cancer and am doing well.

agree with the above reply; breast cancer patients are usually managed with a team:
the one person patients never see is the most important: the pathologist; treatments are based on accurate pathology reports.; then surgeons, medical oncologists and radiation oncologists...
nurses and, depending on the treatment center, perhaps a social worker or some sort of support person.

Be sure to ask questions, understand options, etc and, if you aren'tcomfortable seek a second opinion.

Best of luck and I hope you meet with a supportive team.
