I was diagnosed in August 2024 after discovering a lump behind my right nipple.
At first, I thought nothing of it, thinking it was a cyst or swollen gland that lasted six to eight months before acting upon it. At that point, it had grown to the size of a golf ball.
After a mammogram, ultrasound, and three core biopsies, the results came back. I had stage 2 Invasive Ductal Carcinoma with estrogen receptor positive (ER+), progesterone receptor positive (PR+), HER2 negative receptor factors. I also tested positive for the BRCA2 gene mutation.
