I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. Here’s some information that might help:

- Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC): This is a common type of breast cancer that starts in the milk ducts and then invades nearby tissues.
- Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS): This is a noninvasive cancer where abnormal cells are found in the lining of a breast duct but haven't spread outside the duct.
