  • I'm sorry to hear about your diagnosis. It's understandable to feel overwhelmed and anxious at this time. Based on what you've shared, it sounds like the next steps may involve further tests and discussions with your medical team to determine the stage of your breast cancer.

    Typically, the stage of breast cancer is determined based on factors such as the size of the tumor, whether it has spread to nearby lymph nodes, and if it has metastasized to other parts of the body.

    Since your tumor is 2.5cm and there's a mention of potentially removing lymph nodes, your medical team will likely conduct additional tests, such as imaging scans and possibly a biopsy of the lymph nodes, to assess the extent of the cancer and its stage.
