Tabitha thankfully you felt the lump. Right now there are many regimes for cancer of the breast that are working well. Many of real life friends from high school have recently finished up with chemo, radiation. My mammo tech also just finished up with radiation. She didn't need chemo as she said hers required a lumpectomy. I saw the breasts after and she had a doc that pulls extra fat from inside the breast to fill in the hole from lumpectomy. Her breasts appear perfect with only a small scar which will disappear completly. Grade 3 will have to google. I do dread mammograms and good that the ultrasound was also done as some insurances won't pay for them. As for the lymph nodes I'd imagine they will be biopsied as well. Please keep us informed. Right now I imagine your anxiety is sky high. Let it sink in and take a benzo. Still feel xanax since short acting would work well. Phillipa
