Hi 

I received pathology report slight changes to what I was initially told. Even the consultant didn’t mention this at meeting. 
two seperate cancers

one 5mm  grade 1 Tubular cancer which was the first I’d heard of this. It was in 5mm of dcis so overall 10mm

second one was 8mm IDC in 1 mm of dcis  overall 9mm 

waiting for oncologist to start radium therapy  been told possibly 5 days 

started on tamoxifen  feeling ok on this although I’m very emotional as I’m looking into everything outside of myself much more and worrying about everything

  • If your journey has been anything like mine it feels like it changes every time I walk into the breast clinic or hospital. I guess they don't know what they're dealing with until they have it in the lab which is tough for us. 

    Do you know if your results change anything or have any long term implications?

    Stay strong, Jo

  • Hi Army I hope that you don't mind me asking but did they mean Lobular as opposed to Tubular? xx

  • Hi Granny 

    no def tubular. I know it’s a strange one seemingly rare. It has a good prognosis at early stages and grade I’m told. 
    mum still  waiting to hear from oncologist so they might tell me more about this when I’m there. My consultant never mentioned the change. I was told initially they were both IDC. But the pathology report I’ve received says one is tubular. Unless they’ve done a typo. But when I looked it up there is actually a tubular BC 

  • Hi 

    I don’t think it’s changed anything. It seems it is a slow growing BC. With good prognosis. 
    hopefully will find our more about this with oncologist
