Hi Mrs Merton I was DX with grade 3 IDC in February 2012 , I also had 3 lymph nodes affected so had the full treatment, surgery, Anc, chemo, radio and then Tamoxifen, It is a hard diagnosis to accept but I was never told it would most likely return I am under the Royal Marsden and they have always tried to be positive without being unrealistic, I think in my opinion it was rather harsh of your oncologist to advise you it would almost probably return, yes it may do but it may not, anyone at anytime can be diagnosed with all sorts of awful disease ok we may have a higher chance now but hold on to the fact that god forbid should it return there is treatment out there and you did it once you could do it again ... life is a rollercoaster we never know what is lurking around the next bend .... I have Lymphodema in my arm and breast so its a daily reminder I will never forget what has happened and some days are hard but we are still here 🙂 Since DX I have seem my grandson grow and start school, hes now 8, My son marry & my grand daughter arrive 🙂 at DX I was unsure if I would see that christmas, so be as strong as you can be at that time, but cry when you want and keep on keeping on, good luck with everything L x
