Okay today my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer unfortunately. The cancer is in the right side of her right breast. She has a lump on her breast, i think that's the tumor, anyways it's approximately 1.8 cm. In january she had her annual mammogram check up and that was negative and fine. In june she noticed the lump and a biopsy revealed it was cancer.

Im sorry and size is not the only thing that is used to determine the stage it has to do with weather the lymph node is involved and how invasive the tumor but stage 1 is less then 2 centimeter with no lymph node involved Stage 2 involves the lymph node or size or no tumor and lymph nodes there are stage 2 A and Stage 2 B Stage 3 is even more difficult to explain Its kind of complicated If she doesn't know she should ask her oncologist I am NOT a oncologist so I cant tell you but it sounds like she found it early Best of luck to you and your mom I hope she gets well soon
