Hi, I was diagnosed with BC in April and had lumpectomy and sentinel lymph node biopsy in May. I had my post surgery appointment last week with a different consultant ( as mine was on holiday) and I was told margins all clear in breast which means no further surgery - just Radiotherapy on breast and hormone blocker tablets. However, also told micrometastasis found in 1 sentinel node. I understood that if this happened it meant cancer had spread and I would need further surgery or chemo. I was told this had not been recommended but consultant did not give me any more info. I have since been stressing terribly about this as worried cancer is going to spread further. I have tried to get to speak to my own consultant but she is not available until 9 June and can't get hold of my breast nurse. Can you advise whether it is normal not to have more treatment on lymph nodes if cancer found? Thank you
