Dear Susan,
I had many positive nodes as you can see from my signature. My onc has never told me I have a poor prognosis. Now, I know I'm high risk but my onc is under the impression that I can beat this. He has seen many women do it.
You are in a great spot. I believe what the other women are saying is true: it was based on an old outlook concerning her2/neu. So much has changed.
