Hello again. Well spoke with breast surgeon yesterday, she wants me to get a whole body Bone scan as well as Chest, abdomen& pelvic scan to make sure no cancer cells have traveled to other organs...once results come back , the medical team will decide what course of action..but she did mention surgery to remove cells in breast & lamps in armpit..she also mentioned radiation & +/- chemo...but need to know for sure if cancer is just localized only in breast & armpit...bone scans will determine course of action.
Oh yeah, she ordered genetic testing as well.

Hello,
I’m so glad you were at least able to get some answers! The being in limbo part of all of this is soooo hard. Your mind goes crazy with thoughts of the worst. I am waiting on the results of my Sentinel Node Biopsy and also genetic testing and am scheduled to see the Oncologist’s next week.

I am praying your scan results come back quickly and no cancer has spread!
So will you have a lumpectomy and take out the lymph nodes at the same time?
I may have missed this, but Is your cancer diagnosis Invasive Ductal Carcinoma (IDC)?

Good luck with everything and keep us updated!
We are here for you!
