Path report in....

By WillFightIt Wednesday, March 31, 2010

So the path report is in..first the good news...no cancer in axillary lymph nodes any more..even the lymph node that tested positive in a previous biospy came back negative...0/8 lymph nodes clear.

 

No malignancy in the lymph fluids or the surrounding blood vessels

 

Clear margins, the tumor is all out.

 

The not so good news..a malignany with the greatest dimension being 0.7 cm identified.

 

However. low proliferation rate..only 1/10.

 

Though tumor is small and is node negative, since my node was positive before the clinical trial, I have been staged as IIa...

 

I will be meeting the oncologist and radiologist to dicuss the chemo and radiation..

 

Over all I am elated to have gone from 70mm to 7mm...:)

 

Three cheers for this new treatment for Her2+ve tumors..:)

FOUR cheers! That's excellent news, just what you want to get out of a clinical trial - success. Yes, one small tumor - but it sounds totally treatable. I'm really happy for you, and hope things continue to go well... PJ
