Brief Answer:
All is under control now

Detailed Answer:
Hellp sir, thanks for the feedback.
I'm very happy to see the biopsy report and glad to inform that the report is good and she doesn't need further therapy for the same.
Rest discuss with your surgeon and take his opinion on the same according to the operative findings.
But she should keep a regular 6 monthly follow up even if no further active treatment needed. A Pap smear and ultrasound every six months for 3 years is mandatory
All the best.
