I met with the surgeon today about the results of the MRI. There was no other cancer present - yay!! However, there's some new procedure called a something nodal biopsy that is now SOP for DCIS - my kind of cancer. The AMA is recommending that surgeons do this if two criteria exist in the DCIS. I have both criteria. It will be performed prior to my surgery next Thursday. It consists of actually removing two lymph nodes. If my DCIS were going to spread, it would spread to these 2 nodes...that's why they'll take them out and biopsy them. Now I'll have two incisions instead of just one.
More later...
