She has Invasive Ductile Carcinoma (Sarcoma?) which is the most common type of breast cancer. The cancer is on her nipple and more tests need to be done to see if this is the origin point or if the origin point is somewhere else and has spread to the skin. If it has spread to the skin, it will need to be treated more aggressively.<BR/><BR/>Mother will have an MRI, PET and CT scans in the coming week. We will meet with the oncologist on Tuesday of next week again to determine more accurately what we are dealing with and how treatment should go forth. Thank you all for your warm thoughts and prayers. It means a lot.Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673930610844503371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955071586429125990.post-61995552620427477242007-11-26T07:20:00.000-05:002007-11-26T07:20:00.000-05:00Of course she will be a survivor, because we're al...Of course she will be a survivor, because we're all out here cheering and praying for her.<BR/><BR/>Cx.<BR/><BR/>It is important to fold your towels the right way.Stomper Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038937073264645029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7955071586429125990.post-51792920069389227082007-11-26T06:57:00.000-05:002007-11-26T06:57:00.000-05:00Much love to a Fellow Towel Folder.
