Dear Patty

I think what your doctor is saying is that there are 2 tumors in the breast and they are not sure which one is the primary (the one which seeded the second breast tumor and anything that is in the nodes).

As Joanne said, make sure you get copies of everything. I even got copies of my red and white blood counts that were taken weekly during chemo and herceptin. But, you never know if you will need to go back and refer to these things.

Take care and a hug to you
