Today at 5:30 PM we got the pathology results......still quite a battle, but I must say A BEAUTIFUL DAY! Still not the happiest news on the planet, but you gotta take the good when you can! Clear margins are a good thing....now the fight is on!

• Left Breast - Negative for malignancy (nothing there!)
• Right Breast - Invasive Ductal Carcinoma at its closest point is 5 MM from the deep margin (doctors usually want to see 2 MM at a minimum), which means the margins are clear!
• Lymph Nodes - 21 of 22 tested positive for Metastatic Carcinoma, largest one was 2.3 CM with Extracapsular invasion present and Perinodal Lymphvascular invasion present.
• Overall described as late Stage II or early Stage IIIA.

Specifically the Histologic Grade of the two tumors are:

Tumor #1 (Infiltrating Lobular Carcinoma) Tubule Formation:3 Nuclear Pleomorphism:2 Mitotic Counts:1 Size of Lubular Carcinoma:1.3 CMHistologic Score:6 Histologic Grade:2

Tumor #2 (Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma) Tubule Formation:3 Nuclear Pleomorphism:3 Mitotic Counts:3 Size of Lubular Carcinoma:0.9 CMHistologic Score:9 Histologic Grade:3
