      Curious – what was your mitotic rate?  I was told the same thing.  I thought I was 3A, but they said 3B because of mitotic rate.

       

      I do hear there are new guidlines that suggest the stage differs because of mitotic rate, but I can not find any numbers anywhere.

      Thank you so much for sharing your story.  I am so sorry it has progressed.  That gut instinct does prove itself time and time again.  Your story inspires many of us to pursue more aggressive treatment. I will be following your post and wish you the best of luck through this next step!
