DianeM, Did your pathology report have information on something called Ki-67? This is a factor that shows how fast the cancer is growing. It is used to determine the aggressiveness of the disease. Also, does the report contain information on the grade of cancer? There is grade one (low) grade 2 (intermediate) and grade 3 (high). Usually, the higher the Ki-67 score and the higher the grade, the better the response to chemo.

Best of luck to you with your treatment plan.
