Understanding My Breast Cancer Biopsy Results

Sending you a hug. All the cancer terms are overwhelming. I am also trying to read my reports with understanding. It's not working too well for me either. What does it all mean?

Well that makes two of us cause I don't under stand no cancer language .I am still stuck in on one word .

I usually go to what’s app, then chat using ai. I then put in anything I don’t understand and ask for the meaning. It gives a concise answer. Guess you can do this on the computer as well?

Do you have a GP or OB-GYN or their PA that you trust? If so, make up a list of questions, call & give them permission to see your reports, and have them explain everything to you. There is way too much online info and you can’t really know what is true or false, and each person’s medical histories and family history are unique. Once you get a surgeon or oncologist, they can really fill you in. By the way, some insurance companies do have a tendency to lowball everything that will cost them a lot of money. If you get stonewalled, keep going up the chain of command and get your doctor involved.

Someone recommended to me a UTube video càlled "Breast cancer school for patients". It was easier to watch than reading a lot of different articles with terms that confused me. It explains so much thru a series of videos and helped my husband and I understand what was happening.

Getting biopsy results can feel overwhelming, but these findings show several encouraging signs that your medical team will discuss with you in detail. The small size, low grade, and absence of lymphovascular invasion are typically positive factors that oncologists consider when planning treatment approaches. Connecting with your insurance advocate tomorrow is a great step, and many people in this community have found it helpful to write down questions beforehand so you can get the clarity you need during your appointments.
