Dear All,

 Herewith I sadly inform you that my mother is hospitalised  in a hospital @ India as she is suffering from "POSITIVE FOR MALIGNANCY - INFILTRATING DUCT CARCINOMA - GRADE II".

I am from Software department. So I donot understand the medical report of my mother in which the above mentioned Impression is printed.

 Can anyone explain me what actually has happened to my mother? Is it a Breast Cancer? Is it in serous condition? What needs to be done? Please Help me.. The following is the medical report of my mother:

HISTOPATHOLOGY REPORT

GROSS

Received multiple linear cores of pale tissue bits largest measuring 1cm in length. (1A)

MICROSCOPY:

Section studied shows cores of breast tissue with infiltration by hyperchromatic cells arranged in sheets and rtows. The cells have raised nucleocytoplasmic ratio with moderate amounts of cytoplasm.

SITE:

Right breast

NOTE 2:

Malignant specimens (if any) will be preserved for 1 year after reporting.The management does not commit on retreival of the same after this period.

DATE OF REPORTING:

16-02-2012

=============

Please I will be very grateful to one who makes me understand this issue. I am staying at Saudi Arabia and as I am new here I cannot go back to India and visit her. I hope anybody can understand a son's pain for his mother.

Please Help me.....

    Thank you so much for your reply and concern.. 

     As I said I am at Saudi Arabia. This is the only report which the clinic have given and they have referenced to another hospital for further treatment. I donot know what report it is. But hope you could clarify my doubts by the GROSS and NOTES of the above report. I am trying to get further details. As of now she is undergoing ECG, Scanning, XRAy all other tests back home.

    I appreciate your concern..

    As far as medical terminology "Gross" means what the specimen recieved could be described as just by looking at it in the container.  They state largest piece is 1 cm- multiple linear cores, which means several small pieces of tissue taken from an area.  Then they discuss the microscopy findings or appearance.

    The notes section states "malignant specimens (if any)..."-  this sounds like a generic phrase added to reports which means, if any cancer is found they will keep the specimens for at least 1 year, after that amount of time they can not guarantee they'll have the specimens if anyone wanted to re-examine the tissue samples for any reason.

    I hope this helps you with the medical terminology.  I am glad you say your mother is having further studies and the doctors will give her some news to report to you soon.  Best wishes for your mother and for you.

    It sounds like she had IDC (invasive ductal carcinoma- grade 2 and 1 cm, which is an early bc and not knowing to much more details like,stage, lymph nodes being neg or positive- er/pr and her it hard to go off just this report, but from what i can tell its early breast cancer and she should get through this ok. We are all here for you and your mom, please let us know how you are doing and feel free to ask any questions you may have, Im sorry about your mom she/You will be in my thoughts and prayers

    Hugs,

    Debbie

    I didnot know that I will get so many kind responses for my post.Thank You very much to all.Your kind responses have really gave me the hope and boosted my confidence. Since I am at Saudi Arabia, I too donot have much details/reports of my mother's condition(back in India). But my brothers are over there and I will soon get further details and will definately post those informations. I too feel that u cannot come to any conclusions only with the above mentioned report. I am trying to get more.

    And I heartily thank each of you for your support and prayer for my mother.
