Help needed in understanding my pathology report
Dear all,
the nurse just faxed me my pathology report after bilateral mastectomy. Forgot to ask for a copy when left surgeon as they were running late and super busy that day.
I noticed in the diagnosis section, there is statement as follows:
A:Granulomatous and chronic inflammation and fibrosis
B: multiple residula foci of mucinous carcinoma (had lumpectomy before bilateral mastecotomy.
C: extensive intraductal carcinoma component (intermediate nuclear grade)
What kind of invasive cancer do I have: IBC or mucinous?
What is the grade for mucinous carcinoma?
Is the DCIS grade 2?
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome. I am waiting to see an onc next. Do not who yet.
Thank you so much!
Meg
