Hi,
I would call your doctor and ask what stage you are. Ask them for a copy of the pathology report. I thought staging had something to do with the size of the tumor. I thought margins were either clean or not clean. Definitely get a complete diagnosis and explanation from your doctor. My surgeon had a hand out that she filled in "my numbers." It was actually a little booklet that described size, node involvment,er,pr, her2.
All the best, Catherine in Oregon
