Hi, this is my first post, and today is the 3 year anniversary of my first breast cancer surgery.
I’ve spent the last 3 years trying to move on and forget about cancer (as if we ever can!) and have forgotten most of the useful stuff I originally learnt about my condition.
At my recent clinic review the doctor discovered an enlarged lymph node, which following an ultrasound scan only (no biopsy) has been graded as N2.
Can anyone tell me what this means in this instance as I am confused by the post-biopsy grading term which would suggest it was cancerous, and yet I’ve been sent away and told not to worry…
Can anyone enlighten me please?
