To: "tmic" <tmic-list@eskimo.com> Date: Wednesday, May 11, 2011, 7:08 PM Hi, I got my second biopsy report results today. It shows invasive ductal carcinoma in 2 separate areas,Grade 2,as well as the original 2 areas with the ductal carcinoma in situ. My surgeon says this is very uncommon to have . I'm having an MRI on the 16th and will see an oncologist on the 20th. I don't have any palpable swelling in the lymph nodes,but a tracking dye will be put in the morning of surgery to see if it's spread to the lymph system,with a node biopsy if necessary. The next step (after the 20th) is to discuss with the surgeon and oncologist which to have first;the mastectomy or the chemo. Will also have chest x-ray and labs. Scariest thing is the 2 invasive areas did not show on the mammograms! Cheryl
