So vexed for you as I though breastfeeding was one of the things that was supposed to guard against breast cancer (didn't for me right enough). I had mastectomy of left breast followed by chemo with FEC then taxotere, then a year of herceptin. Only FEC had horrible sick side effects. Tolerated taxotere and herceptin OK though am still left with 2 split nails from taxotere 9 years on.

everyone is different..i had invasive ductal carcenoma triple negative. treatment options are different for everyone. i had lumpectomy , chemo, further lumpectomy, radio, genetic counselling then double masty and reconstruction using implants

..taken out 6 weeks later. waiting for next attemt in march where they will use latissimus dorsi muscle and back skin. the best thing anyone can do is eat well and light exercise.. enjoy the sunshine and the rain. find out who your true friends are and spend time with them. stay positive and if you smoke or drink or drugs try to stop. life certainly changes but can be for the better. good luck.
