Re: Did you have sentinel node or axilla dissection?
Linda,
Thanks for your response. Since you were ER/PR negative you must be super happy to be 10 years out. My onc said that the risk of recurrance is high in the first 5 years but after that it drops way, way down. Glad you are doing so well.
My cancer did show up on the PET scan prior to treatment but nothing showed up after chemo. I'm just hoping that SNB showing I had a PcR at the time of my surgery wasn't a false negative. It seems that many other women had axillary nodes removed. I didn't. It kind of scares me.
Take Care & keep on with that happy dance!
