Wednesday 4th - Type of Cancer

The type of cancer I have is called "Invasive Ductal Carcinoma", 30mm, Grade 2, and Ductal Carcinoma In-Situ (DCIS), which is the pre-cancer. They definitely removed the invasive ductal carcinoma during the first operation and were working on removing the DCIS with the second operation. The cancer I had is ER positive, PR positive, and HER2 negative. That means that it is one which can be treated with hormones. Something like tamoxifen but not herceptin. Herceptin is for the HER2 positive one. The good news is that it is a very common kind of cancer, so they know what kind of chemotherapy is good for it.
