Six lymph nodes removed and all clear. No vascular invasion. My tumour was removed during two core biopsies, so they guesstimate it was under a cm. At excision, there was 2.4 cm of intermediate and high grade DCIS.

Here in the UK, they don’t do the Ki-67 test, so I don’t know the proliferation rate. Neither do I know the genetic make-up of the tumour. This is probably down to lack of funds, and not many people have private medical insurance.

So sorry you were messed around.
