[Insert ugly emoticon here]

The preliminary biopsy results are "consistent with a metastatic
recurrence of breast cancer". As of the moment, that's pretty much all we know - I got this from an on-call doc whom I don't know, not from any of the regular doctors. I go in to talk with my oncologist on Monday, and then will have a much better idea of what the next line of treatment is, and whether it's possible to cure it, or only to
control it.

I'm doing OK, the wert and the imp are having a harder time. I haven't used the word "metastatic" with the imp yet, but she does know that the breast cancer has come back.

I'm glad I nagged my doctor to take a second look at the lymph nodes....
