newly diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma/new member

[Guest guest]

Hi.. I have been reading on your board for awhile. I am 61 years

old, live in NW. Ark, and had a mastectemy on July 16th..I had 11

lymph nodes removed .. 8 with cancer.. I just had a pet scan

yesterday.

To be honest, I am scared to death.. I have a rare genetic liver

disease also, where the liver doesn't drain properly. I met with the

oncologist assigned to me last week , and go to see him tomorrow. I

am so scared to know if this cancer has spread. I am having trouble

with my right arm, and going for therapy for lymphodema.. I will have

to have chemo and radiation. I was wondering if anyone here has had

liver problems , and on chemo, also for breast cancer?

It's nice to read where others are battling this beast, and making

do.Although I wish no one had to go through it.

This is all so new to me, and I am just plain frightened.

I have a son 38 and daughter 34. Also have four grandchildren..

My husband has been very supportive in being here for me.

God bless us all with this disease.

Have a nice evening.
