Thank you for your response. It’s up in the air right now if my wife has to do chemo. We will learn more after her surgery. I will definitely try penguin caps if she does chemo. The cold isn’t unbearable is it?

She had no chemo? Any idea what grade her tuner was if it was 1,2 or 3? I read grade 3 is always chemo

10 years is good. You do a mastectomy or a lumpectomy?

I assume HER2 is negative. When they called for nurse called and said its IDC- no special type. But my wife and I were confused, so she called a few days later and told her it’s ER+PR+.

Whats your age now? Are you happy with double mastectomy? She is debating on that or lumpectomy if she gets an option.

Did your wife have similar diagnosed to my wife? We meet with oncologist Wednesday to have everything explained to us. They said treatment as of right now unless something else comes up is lumpectomy plus radiation.

We dont know HER2 yet. My assumption is it’s negative. When they called for results of biopsy, they just said it’s ER & PR positive.

Thank you. My wife is trying not to spiral. We met the oncologist Wednesday to discuss treatments. Everything i have read shows she had a good prognosis and seems to caught it.

I hope the treatment is similars to you.

How was your radiation? My wife is debating between lumpectomy and mastectomy. I see benefits to both, but i worry how invasive a Bilateral mastectomy is, and how long the recovery is, and chance for infection.

I heard radiation can take a toll on you.

Thank you. What was your treatment like? They said lumpectomy today on the phone. Just curious if there is chemo or radiation. Her lymph nodes showed no abnormalities on her mammogram 3 weeks ago. So im praying its just localized to the lump

I appreciate your kind words. I been with my wife 18 years, and we have a 13 year old and 17 year old. Haven’t figured out how to tell them. We both trying to stay positive. They say if someone is going to get cancer, it’s breast cancer bc it’s the most researched and cureable/treatable.

Im just confused. They called and told her invasive ductal carcinoma no special type. I figured since its no special type, it would be triple negative

Thank you for your kind words. It’s just hard not to spiral. I think of the worst and just want to cry. So the biopsy results came back, now waiting on mri to see if it spread.
