@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!

The oncology surgeon didn’t explain well enough but did say all my cancer was contained in the breast and he considered me cancer free.. I have an appointment t with the medical oncologist in Jan. and I’ll see if I can bet a better explanation and share that with the group.
