My mom had breast conservation surgery and just got her biopsy report but still waiting for ER PR results. The staging says T1N1aMx and mentions metastasis couldn't be determined - does this mean they don't have enough data or are unsure? Also, I read stage IIA cancers are nonmetastatic, so why does it say Mx then? What does this report mean and what should we do next?

sx opinion is advised.
