This is SequoiaTree just checking in. I started with the Pagets/Ductal diagnosis the end of Feb. and have two other growths outside the duct and one of 2 lymph nodes appearing were biopsied with all testing positive. (Triple neg- stage III). On the plus side, the PET scan came back clear from other areas in my body which has provided me with some relief at this juncture. I have a portacath in place and will start Chemo this week and every 3 weeks for 6 rounds total. Following this, I will have another PET scan followed by mastectomy of both breasts with a flat chest contour (about 6mo. from now). Although I have a family history of my mother, aunt and cousin with breast cancer, the genetics testing showed no hereditary factors to my cancer/genes. My Oncology doctor and medical team through the Bennett Breast Center and CMMC have been outstanding which is of great comfort to my anxiety. The Mayo Clinic Forum has been my go to for daily information and support throughout the course. Thank you to everyone for caring and sharing.
