what is my staging?
by Prettyangelface, May 07, 2008 07:53AM
I was diagnosed with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma, the tumor was 4.5 cm, grade 3, ER+ PR+, Her2 -, 3 (1 was micromets) lymph nodes out of 8 were positive. Bone scan and PET scan were unremarkable. Only my left breast was affected but I had a bilat mastectomy. My right showed atypical hyperplasia. My ONC says I have a good prognosis but no one has let me know what stage I'm at. Thank you,
