hello ladies,

I realize indeterminate is not good... It has me quite anxious. Sometimes I read too much and get myself upset... I was hopeful that my chances of extensive invasion would be low since it was indeterminate, but really I don't know. Any positive stories with indeterminate lymph vascular

    Dear Jojo my journey is fairly close to yours though I was a few years older (and five years earlier) when diagnosed and still premenopausal. My tumor was on the mammo for years without detection too (yeah dense breasts) but I had definite vascular invasion.

    But here I am five years later and the anxious voices have quieted somewhat and my life is great. My blood work is good, I feel good and I am continuing AI therapy for another 3 years. I have a few side effects from the letrozole but I've learned to live with them - I exercise and try and eat healthy. Wish I could sleep better, but hey...

    But I live my life and enjoy every minute and let myself go wild on occasion! I also took a mindfulness meditation class to remind me that I can't change the past or predict the future so I need to live in the moment. So don't stop reading and researching, it empowers us, but also remember that a nice long cancer free life is in your power. I'm telling myself the same thing. And it looks like you have a lovely family to live your life in the moment with. So enjoy.

    All the best!

    If it's indeterminate it usually means small and focal (or not there). Extensive is the one that really counts. Nice low onco score. Good prognostic factors. You have attacked this cancer fairly aggressively so expect to do well!!!!
