Invasive ductal carcinoma, what should I expect?

Thank you dp! I already see an oncologist, due to me having Amyloidosis, I had an upper left lobe of my lung taken out in February. My husband who is healthy as can be at 84 has lymphoma, 2 type. So he goes every 3 weeks for treatment. When I say he is healthy, I mean he take not one perceptio. Until now!
So we have a lot we are working with, and we are the Glass half full kinda people. My oncologist said he would have my treatment plan a week from today. So he is on top of it! He sees both my husband and I. We trust him lots, plus my amyloidosis goes through Mayo too, because is so rare.
So I just wanted to know what to expect. I believe mine is also stage 1 but I have 3 lumps, it was 1 when I made my appointment 2-1/2 weeks ago. It’s not in my lymph node’s today.
Thanks for the comment back.

Glad yours was caught early! The oncologist may or may not recommend you take med which will depend if you are er+, or or hers2. Medication & treatment will depend on a combination of factors. Since I was er+ I could have taken a pill for 5 years but i elected not to due to I can’t take done meds due to I’m on xarelto for blood clots & others cause severe joint pain & I have severe arthritis and had to go off Celebrex due to the xarelto. I had a wonderful oncologist & due to my unique health conditions, I am just taking radiation vs the pill & radiation. My care providers also included a nurse navigator who helped prepare me for the next steps. My prayers are that you & your husband recover quickly & continue to feel good!! I am glass full kind of person & realize how blessed I am & hope the same for you guys!!
