Hello,

I know the feeling-- having so many positive nodes was quite a shock. You have some great drugs on your side, drugs that until 2005, most women were not getting with their treatment for early stage breast cancer. For me, I believe that it has made all the difference.

Just wanted to write-in and let you know that yes, you can survive this disease despite many positive nodes.

My best to you.
