- I was diagnosed with infiltrating ductal carcinoma in my right breast on March 3, 2008. This type of breast cancer is the most common type, which means there is a lot of research and a lot of treatment options out there. My surgery was on May 14. I was scheduled for a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. Because the sentinel node came back positive for cancer, I underwent a 2/3 lymph node dissection in my right axilla and had to spend the night in the hospital. The pathology report showed no cancer in the lymph nodes and that the surgical margins are clear. This means that I don't need more surgery and that cancer has not spread into my lymph system. The tumor measured 2.5 cm, and is staged as a T2, N1 tumor, Stage 2B. I have just completed a 24-week course of chemotherapy (weekly infusions and daily oral) and will start 6 weeks of daily radiation therapy in January 2009.
