I have a question about Staging
Maybe someone here can help me because I'm a little confused (nothing unusual for me). I was reading about staging in cancer and the article said that if your tumor is 2cm or under and you have no nodes involved that you are considered a stage 1. My tumor was 2cm, clear margins, no nodes involved and yet on my chart at the oncs office it says that I am stage 2. Like I said, I'm a little confused. I'm almost afraid to ask my onc when I see him on Friday because he says I always have something new going on and want answers. Maybe someone can shed some light on this, please?
Thanks and hugs
