Holweide – what a welcoming site… NOT! I feel like I accidently ended up at some rehab center judging by the scary figures, who stand outside smoking. Well, inside they are actually really nice. I have to do all the paperwork, then go to the cancer station B5 to have a talk about all that …

The rest of the pathologic results are there – the tumor is a little bit hormone receptive, which is good, but a little bit more would be better (ER-ICA almost 10%, PgR-ICA 5%, HER2-neu 0%) and the amount of cells, which divide themselves arbeiten any time is 80% – WOW that is what I call …
