Just got my results and don't understand them!

Can anyone help me? I received my results yesterday and I’m a little baffled by all the information they gave me. Apparently the lump they removed is a 28mm Ductal Carcinoma. Grade 3 (scores T3 P3 M3), ER negative. Out of the 14 nodes removed, 1 was positive. The results for HER2 have not come back yet. They also need to remove more tissue after my Chemo! They also told me that there is a chance this cancer can return!

Please can anyone tell me if I received any good news? I’m a bit baffled by it all!

Thanks

Tracey

The good news is that only one node was affected.The fewer nodes involved the less chance of recurrence.
