This gets stranger by the minute. 8/11/08
My surgeon called today. This just gets stranger as we go.The biopsy done on Friday came back benign. Yay!!!Doc said they are having trouble reconciling the pathology report from the initial biopsies with what they are finding. So, they are requesting the slides from the initial biopsies and are going to have their breast cancer pathologist look at them.What she did say is that she thinks we may be able to treat this with lumpectomies as opposed to mastectomies. Which is great news. Early on it was thought that mastectomy would be the route we would probably have to go. Nothing in stone yet of course.I am very fortunate to have this surgeon. She is making sure that she doesn't treat this too aggressively if we don't need to.Talk about an emotional roller coaster.....Sheesh!!!!I think I will call her tomorrow and talk to her more about it now that I've a little time to digest what she said. She said it will probably be the end of the week at the earliest before I hear back. Keep your fingers crossed.And again, thank you all for your prayers and support.
