I am 50 something and a recent breast cancer survivor. I've been keeping a journal of my experience and hope that sharing some of my thoughts will help others to cope with their own truamatic experience.

My Diagnosis (Feb 16, 2006)

Diagnosis
Breast left; invasive mammary carcinoma of no special type, Grade III
Tumour size: 3.0 x 2.5 x2.1 cm
Lumphatic or vascular invasion : absent
Immunohistochemistry for Estrogen Receptor: negative
Immunohistochemistry for Progesterone Receptor: negative
Immunohistochemistry for HER2/neu protein overexpression: negative

Now I have more questions. The Cancer Society has been helpful in explaining the pathology report to me. However, the oncologist will have more information. I am waiting for that appointment.
