Linn, you have a lot of questions and that is a good thing but don't make yourself crazy either! Write them all down and ask your doctor
But I will try to respond to a few in laymans terms. I learned that when lymph nodes are removed, sometimes a few extra go along for the ride! They kinda clump together. I had a sentinel node done but it was not alone. So that's probably why doc wasn't sure. He doesnt count each little node. pathology report is more precise
It seems that often chemo precedes surgery these days. I hear about it very often. Remember you are reading posts from some of us who are several years out. Things have changed in even that short a time
Try not to do too much second guessing. Stay in the present. Keep the faith
