I've just checked my path results - and it has something similar to your 'Stage' bits .... I have no idea what they mean either! I am sure my surgeon would have explained them if they were 'odd'?
Having positive Progesterone & Oestrogen is totally normal ..... I think many/most of us have that. xx
I think you are approaching this terrifically - once I got over the shock of the diagnosis & stuff, I think I approached it a bit the same .... head on! ..... and all going well - everything goes REALLY well for you! xx
