I have just been diagnoised with an infiltrating ductal carcinoma. I am reading every word that the cancer society and other sources have printed on the web and am getting better informed, but I would really like to talk to someone who has already been where I am heading.

    Hi Nancy,
    I am a year from treatments. If I can help answer any of your questions just let me know.
    Take care and God Bless you.

    Hi Nancy, I know what you mean about "this is all new". I have just been diagnosed with lobular carcinoma and recommended for a mastectomy. No one ever prepares us for this. Good luck.

    I had a bilateral mastectomy
    I had a bilateral mastectomy last Friday and I have two types of cancers. The expectations and anxieties are worse than the actual surgery.I left the hospital the next day. My drains came out today and I feel great. I am still waiting for the lymph node results but have high expectations.
