Biopsy #3 is negative. Whew.
So it's "just" one spot of the most common kind of breast cancer. Next up is a lumpectomy and sentinel node biopsy. The pathology results from those procedures will determine the course of treatment.
I'm terribly relieved. If I had cancer in more than one spot (especially in both breasts), I was seriously considering a double mastectomy even with the clean genetic testing.
Biopsy #2 was an intra-mammary (?) lymph node (I guess they aren't usually there?), and #3 was fibro-cystic tissue. I'm glad they've been so meticulous, but it was scary thinking I could have cancer in three places.
