As I said in The previous message PNI is not considered a real problem by the doctor talking at the PCRI Conference two weeks ago. The Doctors that talk at These conferences really have a lot of experience. The Doctor said

“PNI and extra capillary extensions do not predict metastasis”

Essentially saying they don’t cause future problems somewhere else.

You speak with great authority here with definitive statements even making treatment recommendations. Are you a doctor? Is this in line with the guidelines of this forum?

Everything I can find in the research literature about PNI is mixed and I will wait to hear what my doctor says at follow up. I was hoping my post might elicit experiences from others who had similar pathology reports and what they did and what was recommended to them.
