Question vascular invasion (so much for worry again)

Well, we were riding high for almost 72 hours.
Sue still feels great.

We went for post-op check-up. Plastic surgery came out fantastic, we couldn't believe how good things looked two days after mastectomy. Good news.

Then the primary surgeon called to say that although the full pathology report is not back yet, the pathologist saw vascular invasion, resulting from pretty expensive dcis surrounding the idc. As a result, Sue is going for a cat scan on Tuesday, MUGA, and bone scan following days. Checking for mets.

So, I've read a little, I feel that the news of her nodes being negative is cancelled out by the news of vascular invasion. Nearly so, anyway.

What do you think, or better yet...what do you know?
