Invasive Ductal Carcinoma

Thank you for visiting; although this blog has taken me far longer to write than I had ever anticipated. If you look at the dates, you'll know that I am very behind. I apologize in advance for that.

This is the story of my fight with Stage IV breast cancer. When I was 29 years old, the cancerous tumor in my breast was misdiagnosed as a cyst. My hope is that this blog will help other women to learn to ask for a mammogram or even a biopsy if they feel something suspicious in their breast, regardless of their age. You must be your own advocate!

The Radiologist just called me with the news. I have ”Invasive Ductal Carcinoma“. She said that it’s the most common type of breast cancer. Invasive Ductal Carcinoma sounds so clinical. The thing is, I don’t feel like I have something that warrants a title like Invasive Ductal Carcinoma. Aside from a persistant, dry hacking cough, and feeling slightly rundown, I feel fine. I would equate my symptoms with the feeling of having asthma or mild bronchitis. I’m assuming that I feel this way because I’ve hopefully caught the cancer early and will be able to get through this as soon as possible.
