Waiting time for therapy

Non-node involvement doesn't mean cells haven't escaped - metastasis could have occurred with no node involvement.  That's the nature of cancer, and people with ILC may be more aware of this than most.  The MO said, relatively speaking and it varies from person to person, that the tumour biology (aggressiveness) is most important.  If you go to www.breastcancer.org and view various diagnoses, you will see some people have had chemo with no node involvement and others with node involvement did not have chemo.  I hope you trust that your medical team is doing the right thing for you.  If you have any doubts or concerns or don't understand the 'why's', speak up to your doctors.  They are there to serve you.
