Re: Lymphovascular invasion / survivors ?

hello Lilneeze,
You can see From my signature that I had node involvement and Lvi. My tumor was also close to chest wall so the radiation targeted that area and clavicle area where I had a positive node. In the beginning I felt every decision/move I made would bring my cancer back - i got busy with life, still think about it but help others by attending support groups and raising money for cancer!

I'm still here and feel blessed each day!
Best wishes,
Melissa
