the_rckGood news from my sister. She just saw her doctor. They got the pathology report back, and they're certain now both that it was contained and that they got it all.
There was some hint of a second, different cancer starting to develop, but that was still 'pre-cancerous' rather than actually solidly there. There was enough to show up on the MRI but not much more than that. She didn't say, but I suspect that this means that she'll need regular and thorough screening for other types of cancer. I would take the presence of two different strains of breast cancer as potentially indicating that she's prone to developing cancer in general.
I need to print off my sister's various emails on this topic so that I can take them with me to my appointment next week. There's no way I'll remember the technical details, and the technical details matter.
