Today I received a call from the oncologists office. They scheduled an ultrasound for the left breast to be done tomorrow. It seems that the MRI picked up on a duct that has "washout kinetics" and there is an axillary lymph node that looks suspicious. The ultrasound will hopefully get a better read on what is happening within the left breast. This is, obviously, a bit unnerving. Both breasts...not as good of news.
We still are awaiting answers on my oncotype, and that will help predict the chance of metastasis. Then we will likely need to know if I carry the 'cancer gene', and if I do there is an 80% chance of getting breast cancer again within my lifetime.
Ultrasound tomorrow. Oncologist on Friday.
