Just when you thought you could see the end of the rollercoaster

Saw a new doctor today that picked a hole in our carefully built treatment plan. Up next was an ovariectomy (June 1) to get rid of most of the nasty estrogen followed by Arimadex to get rid of the rest of it.

Today's MD pointed out that the estrogen sensitivity for Carolin's tumour in the report was 3 out of 8 which is right on the dividing line between sensitive and not sensitive. That was news to us. That doctor is going to have a specialist do a pathological review of the slide to see if he thinks its sensitive to estrogen or not. If he rates it as a 2 then forget all the rest of the treatments because Carolin's tumour doesn't use estrogen to multiply, so Carolin's done all she can do to prevent a recurrence. If the review finds it's a 3 or 4 then we carry on as before. The results will be known on the 26th.
