Hi there. I had an 8cm line of cancer deep in right breast. MRI nor the Pet/CT ever showed it in lymph nodes. I completed TCHP and just had my surgery 48 hours ago. The frozen section of my Sentinel node was clean. However, doctor removed some nearby lymph nodes that looked enlarged or Hardened to him. I am freaking out! Anyone else have this happen? Did it end up being active cancer or just a fibrosis from previous cancer that chemo killed or nothing all together? Scared little chick here.
