Re: invasive ductal carcinoma
Welcome, Sandra. You will find a wealth of info here at this site. I too had IDC, but grade 3. You will most likely have chem/herceptin before radiation. It is amazing how much progress has been made with breast cancer treatment. You'll be fine. I am a year through the process..... my last herceptin will be December 10th. I'm 60 years young and had no trouble with side effects. Sorry, I have no info on places to help with the cost of meds, but those organizations are out there......
Stay calm, and remember to breathe deeply,
Helen
