yeah apparently it's more common for cancer to occur in the left breast espcially in post-menopusal woman and men but slightly more common to be in the right breast if you're a young woman.

Hi Girls

Right breast, IDC + DCIS, Oesterogen Postive score 8. Started grade 2 size 2.3cm but grew quickly to over 5cm so they think now grade 3 know more after surgery. No lymph node involvement. Bust size 34a.

Very interesting thread.

Hi Mel

That seems strange to me (lefty) because I was in a ward with 6 righties. By the way I was 55 when diagnosed.

they said they thought stage 2

do you find out most of this info after surgery? I do know one node is affected cos it showed up on ultra sound and examination.
I will be taking herceptin for a year afterwards they think and I don't know if there was a test that showed that but I thought maybe cos I have gone or going thru menopause??....
thanks for any info
