Re: 8 of 14 nodes

Sorry that it was not the news you were hoping for. Just read one ladies signature who had 35/35 lymph nodes involved- she was diagnosed in 2003- still NED. There are many other ladies with similar node status who are doing well!

I don't have any idea what my lymph node involvement is this time...I had 11 nodes removed 11 yrs back and didn't want to risk lymphodema etc- anyway they didn't think it was cancer, so didn't really think it was necessary.....arghhh

Wishing you all the best!
