Nichola;
I think it is possible that your cancer simply did not travel via the underarm lymph nodes. My nodes were negative but the cancer had chosen another way to spread.....upwards via my supraclavicular node where a 1 cm tumor was found. I think it is fairly obvious in my case that the cancer was also other places as well. I received agressive chemo with AC and Taxol and commencing the last Taxol (4 of each AC and Taxol) herceptin followed by radiation, arimidex and now actonel. My worry now is that I have been off herceptin for 3 months (began it in July, 2005) and worry about spread. I do not trust clear margins period.....never have. My view is that all with her2+ bc regardless of stage should get chemo.
