MY wife (32 yrs old) - stg IIA. primary tumor 5cm. extensive DCIS. 2mm (0.2cm) invasion. Initially ONC and Pathologist said 0/8 level1 nodes, 0/4 level2 and 0/2 level3. A week later they said 3 level 1 are +ve. so, 3/14 in total. Onc staged her as IIA.

Is there a chance that it could be a false positive. she is ER+ve, PR +ve & Her2 +++, high nuclear grade, <35 yrs etc. Is there chance that the pathologist changed the status in order to have vigorous treatment protocol as she is in high risk group.

I am terribly worried about her prognosis and my BP is soaring since her diagnosis.
