At the end of September I learned my cancer was back after 11 years in my bones which led to further tests also revealing it was in my liver. Nov 1 I had a liver biopsy. The hospital forgot to send it off for the pathology report. They sent it off for genetic testing only but said they would send it off. At my appointment about 3 weeks ago my MO said should be back any day.
She went ahead and gave me what she felt would be my treatment plan suspecting I'm still estrogen positive and her 2 neg.
I've had my first shots of Falsodex and start Verzenio tomorrow. Today, I learned they were not able to get the pathology from the tissue but will be getting it from other avenues including bloodwork and the doctor is confident it will be a good report or she would reorder the biopsy.
Has anyone else had a pathology report from bloodwork? Im just concerned because I know this wasn't her first choice for getting the results.

My diagnosis was from fluid extracted from lungs (plural effusion). Then a blood test that I think eliminated PIK3. I've not had a liver biopsy, thought I would, but review of 2019 report from fluid on lungs showed HER2 low. In 2019, it was only called HER2 + or -.
2008: Stage 1 ER+/ PR-/ HER2- (lumpectomy, ACT, rads +7 yrs AI)
2019: Stage 4 (lungs & liver). Treatment, then progression - Kisqali & fluvestrant (18 mos), Aromasin & Afinitor (6 mos), Xeloda (6 mos). Eribulin (6 mos).
Start Enhertu 01/2023.
Since 2020 Lexapro for depression & Ritalin for fatigue
