Hi there,
My cancer was multifocal as well - dx August 2017. There was great debate by the pathologist and team as to whether it was to be staged by the entire size or the size of biggest tumour. They also debated my nodes as I had two positive and two with micro Mets. Some classify that as 4 and some clasifyvthat as 2.
In the end with the size and nodes - 3a.
the radiation oncologist thought I should have been the high 2. I don’t really care now. I just want the best treatment.
Cheers
