Hi Faith in Him (I have Faith in Him also )
I did not have 18 positive nodes, just 1 but did want to respond to your post to help put your mind at ease.
Sadly, in the cancer world there are no guarantees about anything. I've known stage 1 people to go to stage 4 and stage 2 or 3 to stay "no evidence of disease" for a very long time. I've known people with no node involvement to have a recurrence and those with many nodes involved not have any mets or recurrence.
There is no rhyme or reason to this disease and you are right in having "faith in Him" He is really the only thing that can give you that true Peace.
Hugs from me to you,
Mary Jo
