I can give a little translation of terms but it won’t replace a doctor consultation because it doesn’t explain what you are reading.
The top two are pretty self explanatory. Two markers for liver cancer origin negative.
Your previous biopsy it is a little more confusing.
It says it was positive for breast and liver markers.
Also it was estrogen receptor negative. Meaning not driven by estrogen.
As we have discussed in other conversations. Markers aren’t always an answer. They are just little clues that lead our doctors to a diagnosis and treatment plan.
Try not to make yourself crazy while waiting. I know that is easier said than done. Most of us here have played the waiting game, and it is never easy.
I read an article today about a research study that showed a one hour walk in nature can reduce stress and fear. I agree! If you can get out of your head for a period of time, it might help with this. I will be waiting with you and crossing all my fingers and toes.
Do you have stress coping skills you like to employ?
Hi meme5. I have no knowledge that can further your understanding but it’s ludicrous that you receive such information without an opportunity for an explanation!
I’m sorry that you have to wait so long.
I’ll be thinking of you and hoping for the best possible outcome. 🌸
