Me too
I have to comment because I also had very dense breast. I had a 2.5 cm tumor (average size, so I am told) but a whopping 18 positive nodes. One node was as large as my primary tumor. I know that the lump was not there long. Clear mamo because of dense breast but a positive ultra sound. I have wondered and wondered why I had so many positive nodes. I guess this explains it.
Thanks for posting, Steph.
