GREAT NEWS!
PET was absolutely clean including nodes. Got results in a record 6 hours.
It’s 2.5 years since single mastectomy for IDC ER/PR+, HER2-, on Anastrozole basically since then.
This 4mm showed up 8 days ago , observed by me. A biopsy reveals ER + PR- ( HER2 not in yet) presumed to be - as KI is 3% ) which would support a negative but no guarantee).
It’s in the location of the original tumor so presumably a rogue cell that got away and just under the skin.
Plan presuming HER2- : I guess it’s a lumpectomy on a mastectomy? Switch AI to Examestane and radiation under consideration.
I’m so relieved that this is a local recurrence.
This was not picked up on MRI in February.
Please SELF EXAM!
