Stage two cancer is when the abnormal cancer cells are limited to the organ it started from and has no evidence of metastasis. Stage three cancer, is diagnosed when the cancer has invaded beyond the primary site to close lymph nodes, tissues or organs.

My step-mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 2013. There are 2 different forms of breast cancer, lobular carcinoma and the most common form, ductal carcinoma. My step-mom had ductal carcinoma. Ductal carcinoma is when cancer forms in the breast tissue and begins in the lining of the milk ducts, thin tubes that carry milk from the lobules of the breast to the nipple. Her cancer was also invasive which means the cancer spread from where it started in the breast ducts or lobules in to the normal tissue.
pylori as well as the inflammation and ulcers that it causes. For endoscopy, the doctor inserts a flexible viewing tube (endoscope) through the mouth, down the esophagus, and into the stomach and duodenum.
