Hi there,
I hope someone may be able to help me. I have recently received a copy of my Path report.
Does anyone know if LVI is actively looked for when doing the histology for the tumour?
I knew that I had LVI and I think it is the reason that I was given chemo but my path report says “small focus identified”.
I am hoping that this means that only a tiny bit was seen in total rather than that is all they saw (by chance) and I might have had lots of it.
Also I had 3 nodes removed (SNB by blue dye) but it has been noted that no blue was seen on the sample. Of the 3 nodes that were removed 2 were matted and 2.5cm in diameter although reported as negative (whoop whoop). Does this mean tha they didn’t take my sentinel nodes… just 3 that they came across? My scar from the SNB is quite high up in my armpit.
Just feeling a bit anxious at the moment as a 2nd “suspicious lump” was also removed that I have only just read on my path report. It was negative for any malignacy but I am concerned that this hasn’t been mentioned to me by anyone… even as good news.
Thanks for any info that you can provide.
