Followup from first oncologist surgeon visit:

Body CT has been ordered for tomorrow, so things "could" change. Right now, the staging is 1B with Met to one lymph node. This is what is confirmed from biopsy. They only biopsied one lymph node because it was suspicious on the ultrasound that followed the mammogram.

Right now, the plan is to undergo surgery fairly quickly to remove small breast tumor with a healthy margin and lymph nodes under the arm. After pathology is done on all tissues, further treatment will be determined or not.

Surgeon was very encouraging and confident, even with the micropapillary pattern present because it's all been caught extremely early. Fingers are crossed for the CT scan tomorrow to be clear!!!!
