Wow, I am always amazed at how much information is available to newly diagnosed patients now. I am so grateful that these tests are all available to you.
My surgeon said it was high grade cancer, (grade 3 of 3) er+, pr-, and her2+. I am not looking at the path report, but I remember (I think😂) it was between 2 and 3 centimeters and anchored to the chest wall.
I also asked my doctor what would happen if I did nothing. He said you will have a real irreversible problem in a few short months. He said the problem was, that he had to scrape it off of the rib bones already, and it drained right to the internal mammary nodes.
Funny thing, patient portals were also not a thing until later, and I am definitely not comfortable using one. I will go in and look at test results since they no longer call with anything. I won’t log in again until there are more tests. Lol. I will say I question a fair amount of information in that portal, I just never had any real reason to try and correct it.
Thank you for sharing your story, it will impact many who read these pages, even if they never post a word.💕

@auntieoakley -- eek at scraping it off your ribs. That hurt just reading that.

I don't try to correct bad info in my portal notes except the one about the vaccines for another patient or something else critical like wrong meds listed. Like you, I mainly go in to look at test results or send the doctor a note when needed, but sparingly to respect their time. Sometimes I have to open the doctor's visit notes to get them off my new message board. I do like to see how accurate each doctor is though. 😉
