Basically this is just a response of the body to try and contain the abnormal cancer cells but not being as successful as we would like. It apparently occurs around non cancerous growths as well. My cancer had a high prolifetation rate also, so was a grade 3. I guess the good thing about this is that it response well to chemo. I'm 14 months on now.
Don't get caught in the cycle of over reading in google. Basically I think they say poor prognosis with all breast cancers. Know the stats. 90% of women in Australia with breast cancer will survive at least 5 years. The best we can do is try to believe we are 1 of those 90%. And yes ...most live much longer than that...I'm planning on at least another 20.
The pic is from the slideshow information provided at the BCNA Summit held 15-17 March. We are lucky to live in a country with such fantastic outcomes.
Ask your surgeon or breast care nurse to explain the patholgy to you in more detail.
