I’m posting because I wondered if anyone else on here has had the same diagnosis. I’m also not really clear about what my pathology results mean. If anyone can ‘translate’ then I would be grateful if you could let me know?

I have an ‘encysted papillary Carcinoma, 16mm, intermediate grade, ER 4, HER2 negative’.

  • Hello,  had never heard of it but googled it and it has good prognosis so if you google it should help.  Sometimes google is a good thing.  It is a rare type of cancer usually in older women but encapsulated so that is good.
