This afternoon we received the full pathology results from yesterday's biopsy. See below for the details for anyone who is interested. Robin has hormone receptor positive breast cancer. This means that all three of the six tumors that were sampled are responsive to hormones. This is good news since this type of breast cancer has a better prognosis and more treatment options.
Tomorrow will be a busy day for us. We have a early morning MRI, then a consultation with the surgeon, Dr. William Schu, followed by a consultation with a medical oncologist, Dr. Jeff Kirshner. Both of these guys are highly recommended doctors from here in Syracuse. Our plan is to also meet with another surgeon from Syracuse, Dr. Kara Kort, on Friday hopefully. And then early next week we plan to visit Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in NYC for a second opinion on everything, unless we do not have time to wait. Everyone involved seems very concerned and we are moving this process along quickly.
tumor A: invasive ductal carcinoma; Grade I; ER/PR +; HER2 equivocal
tumor B: invasive and in situ ductal carcinoma; Grade II; ER/PR +; HER2 equivocal
tumor C: invasive carcinoma with mucinous features; Grade II, ER/PR +; HER2 negative
