Status Update

Got the pathology report tonight. Official diagnosis: invasive ductal carcinoma. Team MD calls this a locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) and preliminarily rates it a stage III cancer.

We are grateful that this isn't an inflammatory breast cancer (which we thought it might be at first), but it is still pretty hard core. The CT scan tomorrow will (cross fingers and toes, light candles, etc) rule out stage IV - distal metastatic cancer.
