Hi I'm 47 with husband and 2 girls aged 11 and 13. It's now just over a week since I was diagnosed with Grade 2 invasive ductal breast cancer. After finding a small lump near my sternum, my mammogram was clear and ultrasound result U3 did not show anything onerous, the lump was removed under general for further testing, so it came as a shock to be diagnosed with invasive cancer, I'm fit and healthy run regularly but I know now that this does not necessarliy make a difference but I hope will help me get me through what's to come. Next steps are MRI to check my chest wall [I'm worried about what this may show], further ultrasounds and another operation in 2 weeks to remove margin (not done at first op) and a sential node biospy. Its a lot to take in and the waiting is tough, but after the next op a full treatment plan will be put in place and then I know what I have to deal with. Suzy
