It would seem that the answer to the initial question is "yes."

All my Pathology reports say that the tissue they examined is HIGH grade. This is from 2000, so I imagine would be called differently now.

I was postmeno, but the tumor was advancing through my nodes in breast and lower right axilla.

They also say: Mitotic rate - high (but no number)

The salient point in my consultations was that I was HIGH risk for recurrance, which warranted more aggressive than usual treatment from the outset. That did little to slow things down!
