Stage 1 Breast Cancer
Thank goodness it was diagnosed in an early stage.... Stage 1 means that the cancer has not spread to the lymph nodes and the tumor is no more than 2 cm( Less than one inch across) I would wait until i get the pathology report back and see what the results say. Have you got the hormone receptor results back yet? ER, PR, and Her2neu. Those results will help determine your course of treatment also... You can look on line and read some of the information there about stage 1 breast caner..... your options and all...
