Autistic Daughter and cancer update

Well we now know exactly what we are dealing with, It's grade 3 invasive ductal carcinoma which is ER +ve (6/8)

which the report tells me is a pleomorphic type of cancer with extensive, necrotic elements.

I still don't really understand what it all means.

Her right breast is now twice the size of the left and the skin is thickening in places, The tamoxifen has only been taken for a few weeks so it's still too early to see if it's going to work.

The Consultant basically finishes the report stating that "the appearances are in keeping with an aggressive and rapidly growing right breast cancer"

She can't have a mastectomy as they would struggle to close the wound, and because of her other problems Radio and Chemo are not an option, so it really is a case of waiting to see what happens.

I'd like to thank everyone who has been in touch, I'm sorry for not getting back to everyone personally but you have all helped more than you realise. xx

  • Thankfully we have a good team working with my daughter, but it hasn't always been the case so I can understand completely where you are coming from, and thank you for your words of encouragement, I needed them today xx
