Does Size Matter?
Does anyone know if the size of the tumour has an effect on the follow up treatment? It was removed with clear margins and my SNB was clear. My surgeon said the tumour was almost twice as big as he f...
Usually they go on the actual size on removal. Mine was bigger than 1st thought but remained as a stage 1 as it remained under 2 cm and no lymph nodes. However due to grade 3 still having chemo. Ask for a copy of the final pathology so you know exactly size, grade etc and keep a copy. The oncologist might still consider it small.
