Two 3.5 mm grade 3 tumors in left breast (one might be metaplastic but pathology is not conclusive on that) and at least 2 lymph nodes are highly malignant.

Not What we wanted to hear
Hi all, It's been a while since I last posted. I started 6 months of chemo on April 30. I am about to have a mastectomy Tuesday Oct 22, 2013.
