Cancer be GONE! All 15 tumors.

Your final pathology shows that you had at least 9 separate tumor nodules involving the left breast. The largest, which was what we could feel was 2.7cm 

Malignant neoplasm of breast (female)

There were 6 positive lymph nodes, the largest of which was 4.1cm
The stage is Stage IIIA, pT2 (m) pN2a cMO, left infiltrating ductal cancer
The margins are negatives, which is good news.

The swelling at the upper chest area is part of the expected healing process.
Sleep with the head of bed partly elevated. Place gentle pressure in the area with in ACE wrap. Followed up with Dr. Wang today (Medical Oncologist) & will call Cascade to start physical therapy prior to starting Chemo treatments.
