I just had a similar diagnosis only it was extensive lymphovascular involvent. My nodes were negative. I had a mastectomy w/ direct implant and my Oncotype score was 22 and an 8% recurrence if I start a hormone inhibitor. Dr. told me not to be concerned about “extensive lymphovascular involvement”. Again there was no spread to my nodes. I hope this helps…. Ask specific and direct questions Ben you meet with Oncology! Best wishes to you❣️

@srkellen did they explain why extensive LVI was not a concern? I was told focal was not a concern but that the issue wasn't even the location but the fact that this invasion showed cells who "wanted to travel." So in that sense it would seem to make no difference where the LVI was located. Mine was in lymph vessels. I did wonder if a biopsy could give the impression of LVI- since I have stayed okay for so long!
