Jean,

Stage IIA bc is:

T0N1M0 [no tumor in breast but one or more positive nodes, no distant mets] OR

T1N1M0 [tumor < 2cm and 1 to 3 positive nodes OR SNB finds micro mets in the node, no distant mets] OR

T1N0M0 [tumor is > 2 cm and < 5 cm, no positive nodes, no distant mets]

So, it is possible to be stage II with negative nodes.
