No DCIS seen. no angiolymphatic seen. she had received 3 cycles of chemotheraphy n now Modified Radical Mastectomy. 3 cycles of chemo after the surgey. i just want to know, will she be fine after this?????? what are the chances of recurrence of this cancer???

Answer
For this scheme to be necessary her cancer must have been rather big. Correct? How big was it? I need to know that in order to discuss her situation. It would also be valuable if you could let me read her pathology report. You can copy it here. What is her stage estimated to be?
