vascular invasion

Im thru bmx, 4 AC & 6 of 12 taxol/herceptin, but just noticed on path reports "lymphovascular invasion present." Drs never mentioned this to me. Tumor was
1.4 cm, er+ pr+ her2+, node negative (0/4), grade 3, stage I & that was all explained to me but LVI was not.
Does anyone know how significant LVI is to prognosis? Does it mean mets or recurrence is more likely even after all the treatment? Or is LVI just a factor like her2+ is that would warrant chemo where without LVI the patient might not have needed chemo? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who may have discussed LVI & what it means for prognosis & treatment.
