Surgeon just called to tell me the results of the pathology report (I'll be getting a copy at my followup with him to look at in more detail). They did find my stupid tumor, it was less than two millimeters, too small to show up on the scans. I also had pre-invasive cancer that would not have shown up on the scans as well, hanging around in the ducts. Of the twenty seven lymph nodes they took, only two had actual cancer in them. And in the category of trusting your instincts, while they did not find cancer in the right boob, they did find a pre-cancerous thingie (atypical hyperplasia if 'thingie' is too technical for you). May or may not have turned into cancer, would have taken years to do so if it had...but it was there. And now it won't even get that chance. HA! So anyway, going by all the staging guidelines I think it's safe to officially call my staging IIa. And I am no longer a medical mystery. Cross 'unknown primary' of my list of weird shit.
