I was diagnosed 2 weeks ago with stage 1 IDC. Tumor less than .5 cm and ER/PR positive. Having lumpectomy this Thursday. Praying for negative lymph node status in hopes of avoiding chemo but if outcome is positive I plan to have Oncotype DX test done. Will definitely be doing radiation for approximately 5-7 weeks but I think I can handle that. I currently live in West Virginia and prior to my diagnosis my husband and I were getting ready to put our house on the market so we could move to Georgia to be closer to our new granddaughter. I think I am more upset about having to put those plans on hold than I am about the cancer. But I will get through this and we will make it to Georgia eventually!!
