The MRI results are back - the right breast has been "cleared". Dr. Bose, medical oncologist, and Dr. Margenthaler, breast surgeon, both called today to tell me that the suspicious spot on the right breast was highly likely benign - and not anything to be concerned with at this time! Glory, Joy, Joy, Joy! Finally, good news.
Dr. Bose called to tell me about the discussion of my case by the "tumor board". The pathologist reviewed tissue slides from my surgery and believes it likely that I have additional tumor cells in the remaining part of the left breast (so he recommends mastectomy). The five medical oncologists on the board agreed - and of course, Dr. M. believes that additional surgery is required. I am confident that the physicians' recommendation is the right thing to do. I am scheduled for April 10th in St. Louis.
Chemotherapy will follow in about 4 weeks, lasting 3-5 months, then radiation treatments.
I am at home, resting, eating lots of fresh fruits & veggies (antioxidants)and leaning on the Lord for His continuing guidance.
Joy, joy, joy!
Love to you - Ellen
