My nurse practitioner just called and the final result is that I have Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC). The tumor is just 1 cm so it is Stage 1 at this point because the ultrasound didn't show involvement of the lymph nodes. Final staging won't occur until surgery when they look more closely at the lymph nodes.
The good news is that this is the most common kind of cancer, with 80% of diagnoses falling in this category.
We are looking at 4-6 weeks before I see a surgeon at MD Anderson. In the meantime, I will be looking at options.
Keep the faith!
YOu're gonna beat this with a whip! If not, I know we'll still be in contact..........if you remember how.
