I was diagnosed with a 13mm invasive ductal carcinoma, oestrogen receptive, grade 2 on the 1st May. Have to have lumpectomy on 21st May, radiotherapy and hormone therapy.
It’s taken me until now to put a post on, but I wanted to thank everyone for all of the info thats posted as it has helped me get to grips with it. I admire everyones courage and I’m glad theres people to talk to.
Hugs to everyone x
