I have IDC and 2cm stage 2. I will see the medical/radiation oncologists tomorrow to see what my treatment plan is. I'm scared, nervous and anxious. I really don't want to do hormone blocker because there too many side effects. I also have health issues and taking medication and don't want to have interactions with it. Please pray for me and wish me luck.

Feeling anxious before an appointment like this is very common, and this community is here for you. Treatment options for stage 2 invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) often include surgery, radiation, and sometimes medicines such as hormone therapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy, depending on the tumor's features. Your care team can explain which options fit your situation, so it may help to bring a list of your current medications and questions about side effects and drug interactions. Wishing you strength at your visit, and the community would welcome an update if you feel like sharing.
