Surrounding tissue reaction to tumor
Hi Lani,
As a T1c my risk is less to begin with so it is difficult to know whether propasin was involved, but the possible dual action of propasin interests me because I have been without local recurrence or mets for 7 years now (as far as we can tell) and have never had trastuzumab.
One reason why I think my tumor may have involved the second action noted in regard to propasin is that when I had the core needle biopsy with concurrent ultrasound, it was obvious that the core needle repeatedly was deflected (bounced away from) the tumor, as if it was encapsulated with a fibrous shell. At that time and since then, I have thought that the dopey surgeon entirely missed the significance of this.... (I chose a better surgeon for the lumpectomy).
If I could I would suggest to this researcher that finding a way to observe random biopsies and to sample the tumors that appear to react like mine might provide additional meaning.
