Hi @Drida
Sorry that you haven’t had a reply yet, I’m sure someone will be along shortly to continue the conversation.
You may find it helpful to speak to one of our breast care nurses on the free Helpline, 0808 800 6000.
Alternatively you can ask one of our experts in the Ask Our Nurses area of the Forum and they can respond to you online.
Best wishes,

Hello Adriana,
I have just noticed that you have posted your query twice with no specific subject response to date. My pathology report did not show lymphovascular invasion (LVI), however I did not want to ignore your post. I think it can be a bit disconcerting when you do not get a response to this sort of query.
Perhaps it is a query you can discuss with your medical team who obviously have more insight to your individual situation. I am sure someone will come along soon who has had more direct experience. In the meantime, here is a post from Eileen765 (thank you) on the subject, from an old thread.
"lv
I too had lv invasion. I also had lymph node involvment, large 4.5cm tumour. Nobody told me I asked after I had read about it somewhere. I am 8 years down the line now. Also her2. Good luck and try not to worry too much. Eileen".
Regards to you and best wishes for your treatment.

Hi Drida,
yes I am LVI positive. I did not know what this was when I read it on my pathology report. So I obviously did my own research until my 3 week appointment came up post surgery. The surgeon did not appear too concerned about it. I had been worrying and felt very anxious about this. The surgeon then decided to do oncotype testing and then referred me to oncology, they did seem a little more concerned about the LVI and we discussed that chemotherapy was going to be beneficial. I had one lymphnode out of two affected with micrometastasis only. I was relieved to have been offered chemotherapy to prevent the likehood of it reoccurring again. Hope you’ve managed to speak to your specialist by now xx
