So, the post-surgery pathology has returned and it's all bad news.
Firstly, the surgery did not have clear margins, which means that they did not get all of the cancer out of my breast when they removed the lump :( They will eventually have to go back in and remove a larger piece of tissue to get the rest.
Secondly, the two lymph nodes that were removed are positive for metastatic carcinoma. Translation- my cancer has spread to my lymph nodes.
This is very bad news because it means that my treatment plan will now include chemotherapy.
