Re: Help needed in understanding my pathology report
Thank you guys very much.
Just edited my signature. The mucinous tumor is 3*2.8*2.5 cm. So that put me in stage IIa.
I live in Canada right now.It seems BC with triple positive starts with FEC, followed by TH in Canada, but I read in the United States Her2+ has TCH to start with and has become a new standard now. I live very close to the border to the states. Am thinking if it is wise to cross the border to get TCH. Will try to talk to the onc about TCH but kind of certain he will follow Canadian standard. If TCH works well for triple positive, I am hoping to avoid other drugs in chemo if my assumption is correct. I will have medical insurance in Jan from husband's work.
Any suggestion is appreciated. Best wishes to everybody.
