Hi The Stages of breast
Hi The Stages of breast cancer are based on many things. Size of tumor and lymph node involvement. I looked it up on the internet after I was told that I had 3A. That was in April of 2009. I have had lumpectomy (twice) second time to get a clearer margin, chemo and radiation. I just had a visit with my oncologist in July and so far so good.
God bless you and your mother.
Hugs,

Here's the link to the American Cancer Society page regarding breast cancer staging.
The different stages are described near the bottom of the page; they also define a lot of terms that appear on pathology reports, so that may help you out as well.
