Thank you very much for the clear explanation Lani. I had 1 microscopic cell to my first sent. node. Second node clean. So this post did interest me. I was also considered, lymph node positive because of this finding.

Originally, at surgery, we were told they found no cancer in either of my 2 sent. nodes but upon further inspection in pathology the one microscopic cell was found.

Thanks again Lani. You are one smart cookie. :-)
