Not a physician, but I think the prognosis for such cancers are pretty good. Please keep us informed of how things go.

There are a few threads here to help you out in talking to your doctors. Is your surgery scheduled yet? Please post any questions or comments you have. Although we are not doctors and can't help with medical questions or decisions, we can offer you support and friendship. I know that hearing cancer almost makes you forget how to breathe. Good luck and please keep posting. I am a 13 year survivor.

Waiting to hear about what the treatment is going to be can be a hell all of its own. I was very lucky when I got my diagnosis. I started chemo within one week of hearing I had cancer. Others have had to wait weeks. Noninvasive is a great word. I remember during the biopsy when they told me it was cancer I asked if they could just cut the breast off then. I wanted it as far away from me as I could get it.

another surgery next week. This time they go in and get some muscle and have it tested. The treatment phase starts after that. Thanks for the support.

There is a lot of caring and wisdom in this group. We don't always get to the message boards quickly but the caring never stops.
