Hi "Leslies" sister,

I had a 4.5 cm tumor - one microscopic cell in 1st node - 2nd node clear. I opted out of having any more nodes removed. Initially, when surgery was being done they said "no cancer" in either sentinel node but after closer inspection later they found the 1 microscopic cell. Because of that reason both radiation oncologists I consulted with said they would recommend radiation. I was radiated in 4 areas and now, looking back, am glad I did it. I figure after all I went through why not cover all my basis.

Take care and God Bless,

marejo
