Hi

I had 2 micromets in one node (out of 10 removed). As far as prognosis, some studies say it is no different than being node negative and some say it is slightly worse but not as bad as having one fully loaded node.

None the less, I know there are other women on this board that are just like us. I am still here almost 7 yrs out and had a very old "gold standard" treatment and late Herceptin (alone after everything else was done).

You will be fine and we are here for you.
