yes, it sounds like he was referring to "hormone" positive, not node. I know you said you speak Spanish but are you and the onc speaking the same language? I mean that in a couple of ways really. Sometimes I dont feel that my doc and I are speaking the same English! I dont always understand what she has told me. That is why I am sure to write my questions and her answers to be able to review them later. And ask for clarification. My husband has been with me during appts and he will hear things very differently than I did. And he is usually right. Anxiety can cloud our comprehension.
And get that report translated into English. Or at least have it explained to you...
Keep the faith,
Bonnie
