Good answers laurel as always. I read a couple of things differently.

First I would not call the intraductal component IBC as that is typically the acronym for inflammatory bc. Intraductal carcinoma is generally referred to as IDC. Picky picky I know but they are two very different things and it gets confusing.

Not sure the phrase ending in "chronic inflammation" referred to cancer. because I didn't know the words before for sure but the word fibrosis seems to usually not be cancer. So definitely needs to be explained.

I did note residual foci of mucinous carcinoma which to me means that there was still some present. But I do agree mucinous is generally less aggressive

You've just learned the downside of getting lab reports on your own. So get on the horn with your oncologist first thing tomorrow.

You will feel much better after discussing with your onc, getting your questions answered, and getting a plan of action
