She was stage 2. Had 5 rounds of chemio and radiation for 5 weeks. But unfortunately she has a blood clot (pulmonary embolism) we were super quick and she healed but still it was challenge for the body. 2 months after she had the surgery in Montreal, Canada. Moishe Liberman seems to be one of the best in the world for minimalist invisible surgery.
She is out of the hospital since mid august. R0 is when they removed 100% of the tumour and a “safe margin”. However they found that a small lymph nodes very close to the tumour was + so they want to make sure it will not come back. I’m guessing that changes the stage ?
When was your surgery ?

April of 2019 was my surgery.
Initially I was staged at 2, but my surgeon said since a lymph was affected I was stage 3. Dr. Shen and his team took out many lymph lodes around the area where the tumor was to be assured of clean margins.
