Every Breast Cancer Diagnosis is different and it is those differences that determine the severity, length, and types of treatment a Breast Cancer Warrior could undergo.

A Diagnosis of Breast Cancer comes with words that do not populate normal, polite conversation, so much of what you will find in your Pathology Reports will be Greek to you.  (unless, of course, you speak Greek, in which case, your Pathology Report might be Martian to you).  When you receive your Pathology Report, you may be tempted to dive into the Internet and surf around reading everything you can find on the subject.  Unfortunately, 'everything you can find on the subject' amounts to a seemingly infinite amount of information.   Some reliable.  Some, not so much.  So, in an attempt to make your life easier, here are some suggestions:

To help you understand your Pathology Report and the medical jargon that is swirling around you, log on to www.BreastCancer.org and read what they have to say about a Diagnosis of Breast Cancer; the various Stages, Grades, and Hormone components.  It's all right there, and it's been written in easy to understand language.
 
We also recommend reading the information on the NIH (National Institutes of Health) Web Site concerning Breast Cancer.  In addition to providing information about Breast Cancer, this site also offers information on a variety of Clinical Trials.
