    So sorry Linda, I was hanging on to that 10% for you!  Low grade 2 is good, there are only 3 grades, grade 3 being the fastest growing. Just breathe, you'll be ok.  There will be MRI, lumpectomy, pathology, and checks to make sure they got it all before the nitty gritty treatment plan starts up, so you will have time to heal, research, and decide how you want to treat it.  Start a binder and ask for copies of everything, that way it is all right there whenever you need it. Meanwhile, we're all here to help you through it and guide you with whatever you need.  ((Hugs))

    I'm so sorry. It's a scary road, but I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of this group. I start the radiation routine tomorrow.  We'll all get through this, a day at a time.
