Dear Kriss

I am thinking of you. Since my mom and me both had this done, you will have to wait for results a couple of days because it is not like your tumor - where it is big enough for a pathologist to at least say its cancer or dcis (although not all the prognostics like ER, PR etc). Regardless of what it is, it will need to be closely looked at because it is so small so we will all wait and pray with you.

Love, Becky
