So here's how it all played out:
I have Stage II invasive ductal cancer. I may not need radiation, and the hormone therapy has a number of ranges of medications so we'll have to figure out which is optimal once we know where we're headed.
As for surgery, that got challenging because of the MRI results.
The MRI showed that both breasts have questionable areas along with the initial lump in the left one. They are non-mass, but they light up the MRI so they're going to need to be biopsied as well. I've scheduled the ultra-sound biopsy for Friday morning, and then we'll need an MRI biopsy. Those results will determine whether I need a lumpectomy or mastectomy or bilateral mastectomy. Whichever it is, it will be scheduled for mid-January, after we get back from Jamaica.
That's where I am now!
