Debs, I am so very sorry. My prayers and best healing thoughts are flying through the air in your direction right now and they will keep on coming. I know that many of the women who have lymph node involvment will be here soon, and they can help in ways that the rest of us just probably can’t - since they can speak from their own experience, but know please that we are all here for you. So, so many hugs.x x

Hi Debs
Really sorry that you’ve not had the result you were hoping for. I have spoken to my bcn today as was told definite node involvement but don’t know how many until full clearance. This shocked me as no indication on ultrasound or any swelling.
My bcn explained that she supported 2 ladies who knew each other 2 and half years ago. One had grade 2 no nodes involved and other lady was grade 3 with 8 nodes involved. Unfortunately the lady with no node involvement is receiving further support for secondary cancer and the node positive lady is clear. I really don’t want this to scare anyone, but as my bcn explained nobody can truly predict the route any if us will take. Yes we can all read statistics but just look throughout this forum and read the stories.
One particular post I read, however I absolutely detest the title is - Any triple neg survivors - (sorry don’t mean to offend but I really don’t) . This again is the scenario you most likely wouldn’t choose, however so many ladies 6, 7, 8 years clear and living life to the full with NED. I am probably rambling but what I am trying to say debs is a lot of us will get results we don’t want throughout this journey but we are all individual.
We all have bad days, I had one of my worst yesterday but will try my hardest to practice what I preach!!!
Take care
Love Louise xxxx
