@arpie I'm glad that you're hitting the 5th anniversary.
Just had the Rad Onc appointment today, and I'm glad that the Dr I met was very patient in explaining and answering all my questions. I raised the concerns about PET /CT, but they don't think I'll need it as I do not fulfill their protocol requirements in carrying out the scan.
On the summary of the pathology it said it is BC NST (ie not specific type). But when I looked into the details about the size of the tumor, it has DCIS+IDC in the brackets. So I'm not sure if I can categorized it as ductal.
So good news is that the panel doesn't think I need chemo, and I'll be having 4 week Rads which should start in mid or end Feb.
I'd asked about my breast density, but the Rad Onc I saw today said it was not on the record. I guess I may need to ask my breast care nurse to find it out for me.
