My biopsy showed IDC, grade 1 (mitotic count =1, nuclear pleomorphism = 2, tubule formation =2), approx 1cm in size. I had BMx with selected lymph node removal on March 23rd and am still waiting for the pathology report. I got a verbal over the phone that 6 of 12 nodes were involved. That's all I know so far. I was quite surprised and very bummed about the nodes as I fully hoped (expected?) that they would be clear or maybe just one. But 6!? With a relatively small, low grade tumour? I know nothing about hormone receptor or HER2 status or how extensive the cancer was in the lymph nodes. It will probably be a couple weeks until I get to meet with a MO. The waiting is so hard. I'm trying to remain positive, but have had a bit of a tough time. Has anyone else had something similar? Any words of advice or encouragement?
