nne and Val,

did you also have the poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma?

Everything I have looked up on this scares me worst. I'm not finding

anything at all positive here.

I can eat, I'm a nervous wreck and I'm losing weight I can't afford to

lose.

PLEASE tell me if this is the kind you have/had and if my chances are

good that I will live.

My report didn't say if it was poorly differentiated or not. They might not have

put that in the reports back then.

You need to call your doctor and ask for something for anxiety. You are going to

end up sick from worrying so much. You WILL live. I was given a 60% chance the

cancer would come back and so far its been 16 yrs and I am doing fine.

You need to sit back and take some deep breaths and not dwell on it so much. I

know its easier said than done. A positive attitude helps with recovery so you

have to stop worrying so much. We are all here for you and you CAN and WILL get

through this. You remain in my prayers.

Hugs

Yes , I had poorly differentiated. I was also

Estrogen/progestern

neg and HER2/neu positive. No nodes affeted but they were concerned

about the genetic factors too. I have had a Grandma, an Uncle and a

Sister with breast cancer. My Grandmom lived into her 90's (seen her

pathology report and she had poorly diff, infiltrating ductal as

well and lived several years beyond it) My Uncle is 92 now and my

sister has been cancer free 13 years. (she is in her 60's) None of

them had chemo and only lumpectomys and my Sis and Uncle only had

radiation. Grandma --nothing. I know it's

scarey when you read all the info on the web. I was like that at

first

with being HER2+. Everything I had read talked about mestastisizing

and all. But I prayed and waited for my doctors to give me the

correct

info on what I had and not someone else's cancer. I had tests

done..PET/CT scans and Muga scans, all came back excellent, cancer

had

not spread. Think of the time I wasted worrying and stressing out. I

know

it's VERY difficult NOT to worry..trust me--my mind can run away

with

me sometimes. I don't know if you are a woman of faith but prayer

did

me much good and also the realisation that I am not in control of

this. I think this is the hardest part of cancer, knowing that you ,

yourself cannot control it or do anything about it. You just have to

trust your health team. Call Cancer Call or another organization and

see if they will put you in touch with someone who you can call and

talk to. Even just talking to a breast care nurse helps. I know at

the

hospital I go to we have a nurse who calls us to see how we are

doing.

She has become a friend as well as several of the people who get

chemo

the same days as I do that I have met.

I will be praying for you. I hope I have not said anything out of

line, if I have I appologise to anyone who may be offended. I can

just

tell MY story and talk about MY feelings about BC.

Love and prayers

Val

you have given me more hope than I have had in the last few days

here. I can't thank you........ and nne enough.

I will try and not worry too much and wait for the MRI and then the

results. I have already called my doctor for meds to help me calm

down and I have also called the american cancer society and they are

going to have someone from hope for recovery call me and talk to me.

I just need facts from actual people that have had or have this and

tell me I'm not going to be dead tomorrow.

Gosh, I'm sorry for sounding so depressing everyone and I promise

I'll get better, but right now I really need to talk to REAL people

with the same kind of cancer I have to know I have a chance.

Thanks so much

Don't worry about sounding depressed. We are here for you through the good as

well as the bad. You aren't the first one to come here that is depressed and

upset and you won't be the last. This is very scary but it does get better. You

are in my prayers.

Dear ,

Yes, my BC was poorly differentiated ductal carcinoma and was also

called " aggressive " which I think scared me the most. But, I found my

lump very early, it was only 1.1 cm. I had it removed and fortunately

the margins were clear (the area around the tumor) and the sentinal

lymph nodes were clear also. I am classified as stage I. Hope this

helps.

Hi , my cancer was also poorly differentiated invasive, etc. I

was dx in Aug 06.

Chances are excellent that you will live for quite a while! Poorly

differentiated just means that the cells are " more " abnormal as

opposed to " less, " it is not a death sentence at all.

Sounds like you have read enough for now. ;-)

There is a lot of positive news, especially from REAL people right

here on this list.

Do you know anything about the size of the tumor, whether your nodes

are swollen, etc.

As everyone said, the waiting is the hardest part. Take each minute

as you can.
