Grade 1

Hi I have had my biopsy results and I have grade 1 breast cancer and 1 lymph node affected. I won't know the staging until.2 weeks after my lumpectomy. Surgery booked for the 15th May. I am convinced I have stage 2 as I have a lymph node affected but I'm confused about the grading as when I look into this there is no stage 2 grade 1 that I can see. I know I will just have to wait and see. But would like other people experience with stages and grades please.

    I would agree, don't get hung up on grades/stages as it is confusing ans everyone seems to get told at different stages of the journey. I was told grade 2 after intial biopsy,  nothing on stage. Had masectomy and on follow up appt nothing said re grade/stage and can you belive I forgot to ask! So the facts are no lymph node involvmenr, bigger than intially thought IDC and DCIS, already knew hormone positive, but the HER2 came back borderline so now a FISH test being done (more waiting) gurss my point is how on earth can I make sense of grade/stage so no more researching, which is driving me mad and just wait for oncology appt. Hope that helps a little. Good luck
