My sister daughter had breast cancer in left side and its in stage3. Left breast removed thru operation.?


the biopsy report is follows;

Multiple sections reveal an infiltrating neoplasm dispersed as cords and nests of malignant ductal epithelical cells with vesicular nuclei and prominent nucleoli. The nests are seperated by fibrous stroma showing many congested capillaries and lymphocytic infiltration. comedo necrosis is seen. The IMP ; INFILTRATING DUCTAL CARCINOMA WITH COMEDO NECROSIS

What kind of treatment required for this condition, whether it is curable.

I was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer in May 2005. I had a modified radical mastectomy, ACT chemotherapy (adriamyacin, cytoxan, and taxotere--6 treatments, 3 weeks apart), and 36 treatments of radiation. Each person is different though. I was a 31 year old with no other health problems. My cancer was treated aggressively and I was just okayed to go back to work. Cancer, no matter what the stage, can be beaten.

so what is your question?

An important factor to me is the comedo necrosis. This usually means a less aggressive malignancy. With stage 3, this one seems to have behaved aggressively, though. Perhaps it will respond to therapy.

if she was diagnosed as stage three, they do a mastectomy and chemo. No radiation probably, but you never know. Stage three means the cancer was found in the lymph nodes. Agressive chemo should be done.

What kind of treatment is required, you ask?

I believe the answer for that lies mostly with the patient. She has to talk to her doctor about options, talk to those around her about her feelings and make her decision based mostly on her own needs. I think that your job, as a supporting relative, is to try to see the whole ordeal through her eyes, and to do everything you can to fulfill the expectations that she has of her support-system as she fights this terrible disease.

I had stage 2. I had a radical mastectomy (left side). Chemo. Now taking meds. I imagine they will do further test on the tissue. There are a lot of factors to be figured in. Positive attitude works wonders. Her doctor should be able to tell you everything you need to know. I took someone to every visit for the 1st year.

Here are two sites. glycoscience.org and glycoresource.com

many questions to ask her doctor such as: what did the sentinel node biopsy show ?
Were there clean margins or not?

try www.susanlove.org to find out more questions to ask, only her doctor can tell you exactly her situation, but many women go on to see good health once the primary cancer has been treated.
