Hey Dawngirl, I did order the "My Journey" kit on Monday after your reminder, and that was a good move, my surgery is this Friday afternoon (11th) so I hope it arrives in the next couple of days.
I had some good news, the type of cancers I have (three different types) are low grade. A rare mucinous carcinoma grade 2, a DCIS of medium to high grade, and a grade 1 - 2 invasive carcinoma. All very treatable.
All tumours are medium to strongly positive for both estrogen and progesterone. The invasive carcinoma is also strongly HER2 positive. From my reading, this is good, it means hormone treatment could also be given, but I won't know that until I meet the oncologist.
So I'm spending the next couple of days catching up with my girlfriends and going to the movies with hubby, last chance for some fun for a while!
Feeling positive! x
