Hi Denise @denise66

In answer to your question, I was initially diagnosed at 54.

When you said you were seeing your doctor for results Friday, did you mean today or next Friday? Hoping you get your results today so you can move forward one way or another. Just remember, if it is cancer, there are lots of treatments and we'll all be here to support you and see you through it.

We're all here waiting with you.

Hi Zebra,

Thank you so much. Just received my results. I have invasive duct Al carcinoma. Im a nurse and have no knowledge of what I’m looking at on my path report. Would you assist me in understanding?

1. My estrogen receptor was positive at over 90.. Is this a good sign?

2. My progesterone states moderate at 10-20. Is this a good or bad sign?

3. My Nottingham score was 7 out of 9. My combined grade was 2/3. Nuclear atypia 3/3, tubule formation 3/3 and miotic activity 1/3. Thoughts? The PA told me my tumor is a grade 2?

4. The PA I met with today had this same breast cancer 6 months ago. She told me based on my report I was HER2 negative. However, on my report is says “Her 2 equivocal at 2 +”. I don’t understand how she could say I was HER2 negative when I was equivocal?

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Denise
