I am a female of 25 years of age & presently ion india, I felt this lump in my left breast 8 years ago & immediately got a biopsy done &it reported that it is benine. Now I just wanted to remove it completely as was moving abroad & the histopathology report showed that it is malignant. " Infiltrating duct carcinoma".

The histopathology report is as follows: " Maximum diameter of tumour is 1.5cms. Sections show an infiltrating duct carcinoma of breast. The tissue is cellular, predominantly solid with mild stromal connective tissue reaction.Central necrosis is present in some tumour lobules. Adjacent breast tissue shows intraductal component & lobular invasion. There are possible lymphatic emboli. The tumour is moderately differentiated (grade 2). Some parts of the tumour show dense lymphocytic infiltration at the periphery."

Now I will be going in for MRI & ultrasound of axillatomorrow.

Please let me know what are the possible treatments for this. Is it compulsry that I go for mastectomy, complete breast removal & then be subjected to radiotherepy & chemotherapy, or is threre any chance I can save my breast? What about my sexual life after all this?

please guide.
