I can only imagine how maddening this is for you. We are all with you and your husband as you get through this.
Your post made me go back and check my pathology report post- surgery. I didn't ask for this, but they removed a number of nodes; eight were examined and all were negative (that gives me slight hope that the PET scan this week will not confirm the recent MRI findings of 2 possibly-involved nodes). I didn't ask for it and they did it. You DID ask for it, and they didn't. Crazy.
My one bit of good news lately: genetic testing for mutations for BRAC2 and many other genes was negative. Yay!

Hey Bikeman : ), sorry for writing from new account, my original got scrambled by Mayo admin. Hopefully it will be resolved soon : (( and I can not contact them via PM because I "have a new account" *sigh.
Yes, removing nodes for examination is standard procedure actually, in Europe it is done in 97% of cases and here about 67% since it adds time to surgery *sigh, what can I tell you, surgeon was in a hurry. With patient who has Decipher 1 with large cribriform and IDC one would think that it would be obligatory procedure even if we did not ask : (((.
I do not know, just mind-boggling things indeed .
Wishing you scan clean as a whistle : ))) and those are great news for genetic test ! *high five
