Good news!

Yay! Woo hoo!

As you know, my original breast cancer finding was in the left breast. As part of routine screening, an MRI was done to find any other cancerous tissue on either side. Suspicious thing found on right; it led to MRI biopsy.

That was done Tuesday and I found out today from Dr. G. that it is not cancer. Therefore, we are free to go ahead and deal with the LCIS on the left. Surgery is scheduled September 8. It will be an out-patient procedure done under local anesthetic. Even though I don't technically have a lump/tumor/bump, the procedure is still referred to as a lumpectomy to avoid using the technical term (excision.)

The pathology report says the right side finding was this:

• Focal organizing fat necrosis with chronic and histiocytic inflammation and reactive fibrosis.
• Fibrocystic change, nonproliferative type.
• Negative for malignancy. :-)

I have only a vague idea what that means. If you know, do tell, but at this point I don't feel the need to scour the literature for data.
