chemo or no with micro metastasis

Hi @Confetti. I see that your post was a little while ago and you may have more answers now but thought I would share my experience. I was diagnosed with stage 2 lobular carcinoma last year. I had a mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy and axillary sampling. The pathology showed “a few isolated cells” in the sentinel node group but nothing elsewhere. My oncologist said that this is considered node negative. Therefore chemo would not be of any benefit. I think less than 1% was mentioned. Nor did I need radiotherapy after my case was discussed at multi disciplinary level. I am on hormone blockers only. Sometimes those few little words about isolated cells are in my mind but I trust my team and feel ok with what has happened. My pathology may not be the same as yours as “micro and macro” were not words that were mentioned to me, but I thought this might help.
