Was your decipher .95? They really don’t give you a number that is a percent, They give you a decimal between zero and one.

With everything contained, taking lymph nodes is not mandatory though taking maybe three on either side could give a look at whether there has been a small amount of spread that’s not recognized.

I know when I had my surgery they didn’t take any lymph nodes, I was a 3+4, And I’ve never had it come back in the lymph nodes and it is now 16 years later. It has come back in My spine.

Thank you. I was at the extreme high end and my doctor was surprised.
I will look back at number to see how it was shown.
Appreciate your suggestion.
Thank you and glad to hear of 16 years 😊
