Hi @dibrun, as fellow patients, we're not able to interpret biopsy results. Only your oncologist with medical training and knowledge of your medical history can do that. When do you have an appointment with your oncologist to discuss the results of the biopsy?

Have you been told what type of breast cancer you have since you already have a treatment plan? How did the scans and mammo go?

@dibrun I am sorry to hear that you are needing chemo. There will be good days and bad days taking it, as there are with any strong treatments. I took chemo and radiation for invasive ductal carcinoma.
Knowing more about you and your cancer might help me to give you tips. Can you tell me more about yourself and your cancer?
