HER2 Support Group Forums - View Single Post - for those newly diagnosed--STANDARD of care about to change-old dogma being discarded

Asimilar article was in the LA Times a couple of days ago in the Health section. When I went through surgery, I wanted to be as aggressive as I could be. I only had 4 nodes removed. I felt that anything close to the bad node was a potential for the bad cell to move out and find a new home. I actually was upset that more were not taken out!
Although I feel good for the women that don't have to more removed I still would feel safer taking out more than necessary-that is just my own paranoia.
