Two different kinds
The left side -- infiltrating lobular carcinoma; on the right, ductal carcinoma in situ. This was based on what biopsies showed. After my surgery, though, the pathology reports were such that I was told my cancer is Stage IIIA. Cancer does not run in my family.
I was 57½ years old.
I finished chemo (ACT) July 16, 2012.
I finished radiation therapy September 26, 2012. -
Don't know my actual age
I had triple negative breast cancer. Stage 2. I state HAD so as to be positive. I try not to worry about it comming back. I do take care of myself well though.
I know I was in my mid fifties. When the doctor asked how old I was I replied that I didn't know. He thought it odd. I stated it doesn't matter how old I am until I can collect social security. So I told him what year I was born in and he figured it out. I got a degree but it was not in math -
