So I got my final path report back yesterday and it appears I am Stage 2a from what I can gather. My tumor was 2.4cm, no nodal involvement, Grade 2. However, it says Lymphovasular Invasion: Present. I was feeling very positive until I saw this. The surgeon didn't even mention it. I noticed it when I was reviewing the report. I don't meet with my onc until my Onctotype test comes back. Has anyone else had this? Does this mean I am doomed?

    My report mentioned Lymphovasular Invasion too, but my MO did not give much importance to this finding, unfortunately I had 1 node affected. We have increased risk that the tumor has spread outside the breast, but I think other findings like tumor size, node involvement , oncotype score , her2 and estrogen receptor can give you a better idea of yours risks.
