Re: Path reports scares me
Hello Linn65,
Stressful, concerning . . . but you are not done yet with treatments. Looks like you still have radiation and the hormone therapy for being ER+.
I'm a bit confused. You were diagnosed with a 5.5cm tumor. Yet the path report showed it was only 3.2cm so are they certain the tumors did not shrink with neoadjuvant chemo?
My thoughts about cancer is that a good offense is the best defense. So radiation, the ER+ meds. Perhaps the other board members will have some suggestions. I have noted with ER+ cancer is effected by Body Mass Index. So now is the time to exercise and eat your veggies. Be careful with high content fatty and sugary foods.
A poor prognosis on the "old" cancer standards does not necessarily mean progression. It does mean being very vigilant and getting lots of great help from your medical team to stay on top of things.
Keep learning and be determined to be healthy!
Sending love and prayers for good health your way.
