Julie got the full diagnosis and treatment plan from her oncologist yesterday. Her cancer is in Stage 3 and has spread to two lymph nodes. She's going to need months of treatment, first chemo and then a bilateral mastectomy, but she will probably beat it (survival rate for people at this stage is something like 60%). This is tough, but it's much better than if it had metastasized and gone to Stage 4, in which case we'd be looking at a survival rate closer to 20%. So, we are both feeling relieved and optimistic today.
Many, many thanks to everyone and their kind thoughts.
