    Hi Rainydaize, the grade & bloom richardson both refer to how fast growing your tumor cells are. Some are very slow (grade 1) some are super fast. Grade 3 means the cells are replicating fast.

    Estrogen positive is good - means it's at least partly fed by estrogen and after your first treatments you'll be able to use hormone blockers to hopefully starve it and reduce chance of recurrence.

    Did they tell you anything about the size of it yet & any sign of lymph nodes being impacted? That's part of what goes into the staging of your cancer.

    Hang in here - this is the worst time: when you're just finding out what you have and trying to come to terms with what's going on. Once you know and have a treatment plan in place, it all starts being more manageable.

    Keep asking questions - we're here for you :)

    So sorry you are here but glad you've found us. The great people here were the reason I made it through 2017!

    Moth is so right. You are in the worst time. However, with more knowledge and a treatment plan in place, this journey gets easier. I promise this.

    Ask any and all questions! You are not alone in this.
