I am new to this

We saw the surgeon this afternoon, and the results are in...

I have early stage breast cancer, grade 3.

Removed were 2 lumps and 5 nodes. The nodes were sticky but clear. Of the lumps, 1 was just a lump the other is doing all the damage. It has spread to the surrounding tissue and is possibly in my blood. Is this why they took blood from me in hospital?

There are no receptors. (Please what does this mean? is it a good thing?)

She said that I am to have another surgery to remove more tissue (this Friday.. very fast), once I am healed from this I am to start on chemo followed by radiotherapy.

My wonderful partner was there with me as always, he is fantastic and always says the right thing at the right time, everyone should have one like him.

This is another journey that we are taking together forever making us stronger as a couple. (One day we will get married and you are all invited)

What I thought was another lump growing isn't, it is a buildup of fluid. What this means I don't know. The fluid will be released when in surgery on Friday I guess.

For now I have to make sure that I don't catch any colds etc and also that my current cuts don't get infected.

Time for me to google some of the terminology used in the pathology report so that I know more.

Thank you for reading and for any advice that comes my way.

Big hugs
