node neg...high risk...and treatment
Since my dx. I was not convinced that being node neg.
was a guarantee of any manner, rather while it is favorable to have a node neg. we know the nasty cells
can move about through the blood system.
Interesting article which helps support treatment for
those in high risk...no matter node status, or stage.
