This is October and Breast Cancer Awareness month.
Last February my wife was diagnosed ILC - Invasive Lobular Cancer, the kind that doesn't get picked up on mammograms. During the spring, she went through a lot of imaging, tests and a biopsy. Through the summer, she went on a hormone therapy to reduce the size of the tumor and it worked. Over the past few weeks, she had two surgeries. We got the pathology report back yesterday that showed negative results, which is good. The first surgery didn't get it all and the doc had to go back in and take more tissue. The 2nd surgery got it all. The cancer spread into her lymph system, but not far and they believe they got it all out.
Next up is radiation treatment, but no chemo is needed. Yeahhh.,...
So, we're frikkin ecstatic and I thought it would be cool to share with you guys. (She's modest and not keen on posting it up on FB. So, I want to celebrate a little here. She never comes here. )
If you have any questions about ILC, just ask. I now know it all!!!!
