Well, Hope amazing what technology brings, sometimes things maybe you rather not know, but then again better that you do know for best treatment. I'm one of those that was positive node by IHC only, not H&E. Anyway, about 30% of node negative by traditional standards of H&E were found to relaspe, probably most of them would be node positive by newer IHC testing.

Hopeful, I like that name. Just keep posting, we need a lot of that around here you know..."Hopeful". Take care...
