Hi SallyS. I think it’s reasonable to reassure yourself that the ultrasound did not pick up any enlarged lymph nodes and nothing was felt by your doctor. It doesn’t completely exclude micro invasion of the lymph nodes but it is certainly very good news and spread to other parts of the body is MUCH less likely if your nodes are not involved. It’s hard to avoid thinking about the worst case scenario when one is first diagnosed but remember that for the vast majority of women, the cancers are contained and very treatable. Try not to waste your emotional energy by thinking about something that may never happen. Easier said than done, I know!
