When do you get told staging

Hi Virgo , sounds like they’re being very thorough so I’m guessing you may not be told the stage until after the shave and results of the DX test (I don’t know what that is so can’t comment, I didn’t have that test). In my case, I was never verbally told what stage I was and didn’t find out till I saw it on the letter from the oncologist to my GP. It stated Stage 1. I think if you just have in situ carcinoma then it’s Stage 0, but I’m not a medic. With invasive I think it’s always at least Stage 1. There’s a section on this site about staging and grading, I’ll see if I can post a link. I knew after my biopsy results that it was Grade 2 invasive ductal carcinoma. 
Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday, I’ve seen many posts here saying that it was ‘better’ than the initial lumpectomy. Hopefully after that’s done you’ll soon have an oncology appointment to discuss your treatment plan. Horrible limbo stage where you’re not sure what’s coming next. Love and hugs, HFxx

Hope this is the link…. Xx

Thank you so much for replying and sending a reply very much appreciated

The invasive was less the 2cm so I would think its Stage 1 or 2 due to size and no lymph nodes

The DX is to get a percentage of likeliness cancer will comeback and if chemo would benefit so if low figures come back don’t need chemo 

I spoke to my nurse today she said by cancer was T1 as it was less then 2cm
