I have what?!?

On August 14, 2012 I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma or breast cancer.  Needless to say to say I was shocked and absolutely devastated, how can this be happening to me????

Well it's happening whether I like it or not...

I had the lump and 4 lymph nodes removed on September 6th.  The pathology of the tumour came back with a grade of 3/3 (aggressive) the good news is the 4 lymph's came back clear.
So what now...
I'm currently awaiting my appointment at the Cross Cancer where I will find out the status of the hormone testing and what the treatment plan is, well in more detail than just chemotherapy followed by radiation.
