Path report

Surgeon called last Thurs with my pathology results. She said she removed a 5mm area that was cancerous. Didn't get clean margins because that's hard to do in the armpit area. She also removed 2 lymph nodes that weren't cancerous. So I think I have 0 lymph nodes in that area now.

I have questions for her during the follow up appt. Did that cancer just "pop" up in that area or did it start in a lymph node that was previously removed?

My right arm has blown up with lymphedema. That's a frustrating disappointment.

I've been playing phone tag with someone from the oncology financial office. I'm worried my Medicare/Medicaid won't cover the new injectable drug (Faslodex) because I've heard it's expensive. I'll be in a panic until I talk to her.
