My surgeon has an analogy for invasive breast cancer...It goes a little something like this... Once the cancer has had the opportunity to become invasive, it is just like a horse that has been let out of the barn. You just do not know what path it has taken. In addition, I have been told to think of the breast cancer travelling to a fork in the road. One direction is to the lymph nodes, and the other to the blood stream. We all know that we had the nodes tested, and in some cases (like Mine) the nodes were negative. It is then likely (not 100%) that the cancer did not go to the other fork in the road or the blood stream. But because they can't be certain, they recommed chemo to get rid of any cells that may have traveled that direction.
More love to all of you
