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!!

Thank you for sharing. My oncologist told me I need surgery but that’s it so far. I will know more on Wednesday! I too am allergic to many med. the scary part is not the surgery, it what Abe they gonna put me back together with? I’m allergic to all adhesive now! It will be interesting! I guess I will find out everything Wednesday. My husband is going through Chemotherapy too! I guess I could not let him go through it alone.😂

I'm new here. Just got the call today. IDC rt side, grade 2. That's all I know for now but am so scared. Anxiety and panic are so bad. I'm also on a blood thinner and worried about treatment. I hope you are doing well 💗
