Hi Robin,
You and I are very similar. I had 4.2cm DCIS and 7mm invasive tumor, but LV invasion and sentinnel node were clear. I did however have only 1 sentinnel node taken and that tested negative. I have often wondered if other nodes were positive. I have heard that micro to the node is often the result of mechanical displacement of cells by the surgeon during surgery.
