PATHOLOGY REPORT
The Dr. called me last night with the pathology report. I had 2 tumors, the 1st was a stage 0 DCIS tumor. Pretty much meaning it was 1cm or smaller in found in my milk ducts. The 2nd was a stage 1(the mammogram found this one) invasive tumor, this one was a little over 2cm in size. Both are fed by estrogen. So with all that said there is another test I have to have done. Its called OncotypeDX. Because my cancer was found so early and it did not spread to lymph nodes and its estrogen fed, I qualify for the test. This test determines the probability of the cancer coming back.. There is a score from 0 to 100 the lower the score, the less chance of recurrence. A score of 0 to 8 no need for chem. 9 -30 need to consider possibility of needing chemo, 31 and above I really need to consider chemo. So I have to wait another 2 weeks for those results. God is truly teaching me patience...lol So I won't know how I am going to be treated for another 2 weeks. I guess that's good with everything not hitting me all at once. I just kinda feel its just dragging out longer. Oh well like I have said before this is God's plan and I can't rush Him, so I will just sit back and enjoy the ride because God is in control and He keeps telling me "I GOT YOU"
