My mom has breast cancer

No sign of lymphatic or vascular invasion, but it could be 1A or 1B. That’s what I was told. I don’t really know what the 1A or 1B means though

Praying for your mother. Be strong and stay positive around her.

Positive things always happen to positive thinkers!

prayers sent. Lost my aunt to breast cancer. Seems y’all caught it early though

My mom found a lump in August 2013, was diagnosed with invasive ductile carcinoma in October. They put her on Letrazole immediately and she had surgery in July 2014.

Thankfully she has been clear since and was even able to come off the Letrazole this past fall.

Praying your mom's journey is similar and the outcome is as good.

Cancer is always tough and always scary.

If things start to get to you that is perfectly normal. We will always be here to talk to you and help as much as we can.

I have faith your mom is going to kick this cancer's arse up and down the street.

That is encouraging. My mother is a breast cancer survivor. She was diagnosed in late 2012. Stage 2 with the most aggressive form (most aggressive level on a 9 point scale). She had some lymph node involvement.

Doctors put her on aggressive chemo schedule which shrunk her tumor which they then surgical removed after chemo. She had a few weeks of radiation after that and had been in remission for about 7 years.

She got a jaw abscess/infection during chemo that doctors were able to fix.

Breast cancer treatment has come a long way. She's in good hands.

Update: at surgery, they determined the cancer had not spread to the lymph nodes. She will likely not need chemotherapy and instead will have hormone therapy. The prognosis is very good.

Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers.

Great news - another prayer sent up just in case
