@Shellbelle_75 that sounds very positive about the nodes. It's understandable they want to be cautious and good too. It's better if they are thorough. Don't worry about the oncologist appointment. If you can ask the breast nurse to go with you they are great because they understand whats being said they link you in with whatever is necessary and give you heaps of support.
