Chelee,
I am late to this thread and just read about your situtation with rads. I too have extra nodal invasion, which appears to mean that same as extra capsular invasion. Lymph nodes appeared to be matted together and cancer cells had grown beyond the lymph node into the surrounding area. I am sooo sorry to hear about your so far unsuccessful battle to get rads. Will you be starting hormonal treatment soon? I have read about the impact that hormonal treatment can have and I am supposed to start aromatase inhibitors (luckingly AC sent me into menopause and I can use the AI's) when the Taxol is over.
I'm thinking of you and admire your strength. Even while you are fighting for the best care that you can get you have found time to make me feel welcome and give me helpful advice in my own treatment struggles. Thanks again.
Big (but gentle) Hug,
Carina
