Hi Chan,
I was diagnosed with local and regional mets through a biopsy of an enlarged supraclavicular lymph node(at the base of my neck). Although liver and bone scans were negative, I think I possibly had mets there due to pain & tenderness.
Do you have any enlarged nodes in your neck? That would confirm regional disease and qualify you for Herceptin. I don't know if enlarged nodes in the groin are a possible biopsy site, but worth exploring the idea with your surgeon. Some nodes are hard to get to due to the proximity of nerves and blood vessels. Hope this is helpful and please keep us posted...
hugs,
Lolly
