Re: What is Ki67?
Thank you for asking!!! As I had did a bunch of searches trying to figure out this (about 3 weeks ago)- and just came up with a little information that I thought that meant that the cancer was more aggressive ....?
This info really helped me .... as I am -
Ki67 (MIB-1) positivia 30%.
AND - I only had a 1.5 cm tumor - Stage 1 .... so now I might be more nervous about this ---ugh! ????
Its now back on my list to talk to my Oncologist about (UGH! Its a challenge as my Italian is okay for getting around -but in medical terms it's not so great! --- my doc says she speaks English - but we end up speaking Italian! UGH!)
Thanks though, we need to look at all the information, and somehow figure out what it means.
Karen
