My pathology report is out. The DCIS cancer part is 5.6mm, but there is 0.3mm of microinvasion. The in situ cancer is triple-positive. I had another sentinel lymph node surgery in the axillary area last week, hoping there’s no metastasis.
My doctor is a bit uncertain because I’m relatively young, only 42, and one of my markers is HER2-positive, which increases the risk of recurrence and metastasis. So I’m unsure if I should go through chemotherapy. Are there any cases similar to mine? Or is there a group on this site with data on microinvasion? I might be a rarer type.
Additionally, in Australia, is it possible to take out my pathology slides and send them to another hospital for further analysis? I feel that if I can clearly identify the type of my microinvasive part, I might be able to receive more targeted treatment.
