Good and bad news
Oh Angel,
It is a mixed bag isn't it? On one point things are good, and on the other things aren't so great. I don't know much about lymph node dissection since I have yet to have surgery ( due to a number of factors) but I have been on chemo since March and I can tell you that although it isn't pleasant it is something you can do. I am the biggest chicken in the world and I adapted to it o.k.. I'm hoping for the best for you on your next surgery. Please try to keep positive, I know it is hard but there are many members here who can and will help you. Love surf0 -

Yeah, the see-saw...

Clean margins is actually GREAT news. Cancerous lymph nodes - not so great. Your upcoming second surgery will determine your next steps. I'll be hoping for the best possible outcome on Tuesday. Please keep us posted.
Just F.Y.I. - I had 7 of 15 nodes test positive (4 of 7 from breast, 3 of 8 from armpit) = about 1/2 of 'em. Yesterday was 6 years since diagnosis, and my med onc continues to tell me I'm doing very well.
Best wishes to you.0 -

Good luck with your surgery.

Happy and Sad
I am happy to hear about your margins but sorry to hear about your nodes. I had 3 out of 9 nodes test positive. The surgeon took them all because he could not tell which nodes were cancerous or not. The dye and the geiger counter did not pinpoint them. I survived my node removal and you will too if it comes to that. Hang in there. Let's hope for the best.
