HI Tom -
I was Dx'd in May 2010 with BC and had my RC in June 2010. All my post op tests came back as clear and the nodes (27) they took were all clear. I thought I was all set, but found out that I had MEts to the lung in MAy 2011. (No I didn't know I was supposed to be monitored every 3 months). BUT I am receiving chemo now and the tumors are responding. It's almost harder to get thru the 2nd dx than the first. I've had the best support at home and at treatment, I'm so lucky, but the reality is that no one knows what's going to happen. Talk to your Dr. about your concern about the node. They are your best source of info and don't let them put you off! "Everything's fine!!!... is not enough - you need more info to understand and find a good place to be with all that's happened to you.
Jmemas note on suppliments is a good one to also run by your doc. Mine did suggest a multi, vit D, calcium..., but be sure to get good sources for vitamins.
Also, get an idea of what your dr. is planning for future testing and at what timeframe. This may help you to feel not so abandoned. Again, they are the dr. you are the patient, but that doesn't mean that the medical pros are the final say in all areas. If your Dr. won't work with you or you feel unattended to, it's time to find a better dr.
Keep us in the loop, we are here for you!
