+nodes and mets
I have a question regarding her2 and the way that it metastizises (sp?!?!). Is there a reason that some people gets mets earlier on, say with 2+ nodes, and then there are others that may have many (10, 15, 20) +nodes, but no mets? Is there any rhyme or reason to this, or is it just chance?
Love, Kelly
