 Joyce's prognosis is more of "They don't know". Since it is so rare they sound like they really don't know what should be done. She said they have graded it as non aggressive.They sent the tissues from the tumor removal to Boston and New York. Then gave her the option of radiation or chemo after the sentinal node dissection. Which in itself sounded wierd - She choose the radiation. (I am glad as I don't think she could have taken the chemo) Appr. two years ago when I started my process of the chemo, surgery and radiation, she had the spot on her right breast. They checked twice since then and had not been concerned. But this year they decided to do something about it. I think and hope it had something to do with me pushing her to do something. But they had been more concerned about trying to get her diabetes and diverticulitis controlled in the past three years. (Same thing as my hubby, by the way )
She has been through so much and is weak from everything, that is why I don't think she could have taken the chemo. One week of radiation and she is already saying how fatigued she is. She had the same surgeon that I had and it has helped by me having gone through this to give her some help. Even though she insists that she has/had a rare cancer and is having a problem saying it, I am trying to help her in my small way. She helped me when I was going through my stuff- Funny how things can go around in a circle---What goes around, comes around.

Give a Mark a K.I.S.S. I love the saying:
Keep

Simple
Stupid
He may know where this comes from. haa haa
Keeping you in my thoughts.
