2007 I had the same diagnosis. My internist made a comment that, above all, was the most comforting. He said, "Well, thankfully, you have the --good-- kind of breast cancer." The fear I felt melted away. I went on to have a mastectomy (totally my choice) 4 rounds of chemo, and am on a...

The fear I felt melted away. I went on to have a mastectomy (totally my choice) 4 rounds of chemo, and am on a hormone blocking drug for 5 years. I have my follow-up appointments, and do all I can to stay healthy. The rest I leave to God and pure luck.
Your breast cancer was diagnosed in a early stage and there are lots of answers for you with this type of finding. Yours is the most common and there are several kinds of breast cancer. March through your treatment like a warrior! You have many, many, sisters alive today who have had the same diagnosis.

I had a bilateral mastectomy in July after my dx, and now wish I had considered a lumpectomy more. I really really miss having one good breast with a nipple.

2 comments 2Hi Kristine I honestly don't have a definite answer for you regarding the survival rate . I have researched and read conflicting answers. I do know that it depends on the type of breast cancer that you are diagnosed with as well as other issues. However, I hope that you are encouraged by knowing that I celebrated my 5th year of being cancer free on 8/23/11. I was diagnosed with Triple Negative, Invasive and Stage 2A. I was 52 Yrs old when diagnosed and I am now 58.
I know that God is in control of all our lives therefore I live my life a day at a time staying focused on what is most important to me and what makes me happy no matter what and that is my family and God. Follow your Dr's Advice:) always have hope, faith and love.
Stay encouraged and enjoy each and everyday!

Don't get caught up in numbers for "survival rate." If those statistics were important, we might never drive a car! I was diagnosed w Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Triple Neg in Jan 2008. I had chemo, lumpectomy, and radiation. This past March 2011, I felt a lump in the same...
2 comments 0Don't get caught up in numbers for "survival rate." If those statistics were important, we might never drive a car! I was diagnosed w Stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, Triple Neg in Jan 2008. I had chemo, lumpectomy, and radiation. This past March 2011, I felt a lump in the same breast...diagnosed DCIS, again TNBC. I elected to have bilateral mastectomy and immediate reconstruction. Post op pathology showed 2 additional types of micro malignant cells waiting to happen. I feel totally at peace with my decision. Life is good. I am back to playing golf and exercising. Yoga and meditation are high priority for staying focused and strong. The path to wellness starts in our own minds...know it, believe it, and you will be better than ever!
