Recently Diagnosed Breast Cancer - Questions About Tumor Size

Hello,

I was recently diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma. I am Er and Pr positive. We are waiting for the HER 2 results. Ki-67 was 43% and high risk. The tumor is 5cm + on the top of my left breast. They did a biopsy of a nearby node that was questionable and said it was negative but could be because of sample bias. Has anyone had a tumor that size that had not yet gone to the lymph nodes? It is a very aggressive cancer so I am surprised that it has not spread, although they are not sure. 

Just read ur post…

i had Triple Negative breast cancer and had 2 lumps,  one was 2 cms and the other was 6 cms.  Had mastectomy and axilliary level one nodes removed and tested.

clear margin on breast removal and nodes ALL CLEAR…

hope this bit of info may help you.

good luck.  Stay positive and strong.  Mini mad xx ??
