I don't even know when's the last time I posted here because it's been a little over 2 decades since my dx. I was dx'd with IDC stage IIB with two lymph nodes involvement back in July of 2005. My tumor measured 3.5cm at dx. And you know what? After two decades, I'm still here alive and kicking, enjoy eating chocolate. 😁 Just because your nodes are affected doesn't mean it's a death sentence. You will be where I am right now before you know it and will be working your butt off to get your son ready for his prom. So in the meantime, just try to stay positive. My advice, never google for the stats. They are just numbers.
