Results after Surgery

I went and saw my specialist yesterday to find out how the surgery had gone and what the results were with the lymph nodes.

They had taken 5 lymph nodes and all 5 have come back clear, so it looks like we have managed to get all the cancer.

The cancer was a grade 2.

Now to see the oncologist and radiotherapy oncologist.  The oncologist will confirm whether I need to have chemo or not.  My specialist has said that if I was 20 years older she would not even be questioning whether or not I should be having chemo it would be straight out "no I do not need it", however as I am only 36 she thinks they may put me through a course of chemo to just make sure that we have killed the cancer.
