Hi Patty,
I am confused. Did the surgeon remove 2 lymph nodes or 2 levels of nodes, getting 70 % of the nodes?
I had a level two node disection, and had 9 nodes, one of which had cancer. Angel Alaska is right we all have a different number of nodes.
Is it possible to take reports and get a second opinion? I am sure that would give you peace of mind. Any good surgeon welcomes second opinions.
I am sorry you are dealing with this stress. Hoping others will chime in.
The Her2+ gals from N. IL are getting together on Sunday, our second outing. I know it is a long drive for you but we would love to have you join us. Are you interested in details?
