Yay finally have a full diagnosis.
Surgery was had on 23/5 and went well, doctor took an extra large surgical margin and 3 sentinel nodes and was very happy with it all.
Doctor asked us to stay in Adelaide until the following Wednesday to get the results, and boy am I glad that I did. My boob was so sore, and still is, and the roads between The Hill and Adelaide are shite and it would have been an agonising drive.
So, the final result is Invasive Carcinoma of No Special Type (aka Invasive Ductal Carcinoma) Grade 2 Stage 2 ER+ PR+ HER2-.......this is good according to the doctor.
The surgical margin and nodes were clear.....yay.
So now it is radiotherapy and hormone therapy....to be started when I have healed enough....it does mean 5 weeks in Adelaide but worth it.
It is such a relief to be able to say what I have, or had, and have a forward plan.
