When Breast Cancer is Diagnosed

When Breast Cancer is Diagnosed

  • What did my biopsy or needle aspiration (surgery with a needle to remove fluid or cells) show?
  • What kind of breast cancer do I have? 
  • What is the stage of my disease? 
  • What is the size of the tumor? 
  • Has the cancer spread to my lymph nodes or other parts of my body (metastasized)?
  • What tests will I have before surgery to see if the cancer has spread to any other organs (liver, lungs, bones)?
