My pathology report from biopsy is so difficult to figure out. I’m going crazy inside having to wait until August 7 got my consultation with Moffitt Cancer Centers breast surgeon and oncologist. And that’s just a consult. How many more weeks will I have to wait and wait and wait for surgery? This lump has been in my left breast since February. Ultrasound on Feb 2 called it a cyst. Wrong. Then two weeks later the 3D mammogram totally missed this lump. Too many months passing by without treatment. .

I am so sorry it is taking so long. If you have the results, can you consult another doctor to help you?

I had a 3D mammo miss 2 large tumors in one breast… and I went in with a symptom! Two mos later I strongly requested an MRI… bingo!

My unilateral mastectomy was 4 mos after I went for mammo… 6 weeks after MRI.

I, like you, had Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC) Stage 2 ER/PR + HER2 - ( it appears) . An ONCOTYPE will be performed on the tissue ( biopsy or surgical.. typically surgical) to determine if chemotherapy will be beneficial. Radiation Oncology consultation will be recommended also. Aromatase Inhibitor for 5-7(10) years will also likely be recommended.

There is some “time” … but it is also “of the essence “. I would definitely become the squeaky wheel here!

Best to you on this (unwanted) path to RECOVERY!
