Sue was dx'd via a 6 month mammogram that was ordered because of a funny(!) looking cyst on her left breast. That was gone, but a 1.7 cm tumor was evident in her right breast.
went to a surgeon the next day. Ultrasound scan next day. core needle biopsy three days later. pathology showed histologic grade III/III er-. pr-, HER2 3+ Infiltrating ductal carcinoma. MRM surgery scheduled for 2 weeks later.
BLATANT MISTAKE (and lack of ability to inform us about it) by surgeon's office staff caused another 2 week delay as we needed to find a new surgeon 2 days before original surgery date.
She has not had pet or ct scans, and we have yet to meet with an oncologist.
Surgery went really well with good news on Tuesday (2 great new surgeons), sheduled to see docs on Friday, and will have a "consult" with oncologist, surgeon, and plastic surgeon sometime next week.
We, too, have seen that there seems to be no one path to recovery, we try not to second guess our path and try to be as informed as possible, easy to say not always easy to do.
