Hi,

I was diagnosed with a grade 1 1.5cm er positive her2 negative, my ultrasound scan showed no node involvement, breast cancer in September. I've recently just has a lumpectomy and sentintal lymph node removal. 

This week I had my results and they came back with clear margins, which is great but they found a small number of cancer cells in 3 of the five sentinel nodes (3 showed up after radioactive injection so surgeon thought she only took 3). The cancer is actually a grade 2 and 2cm but same ER and HER2. 

I now need to have a CT scan and bone scan and to ensure no other spread to distant organs. I'm just so so worried that there is from anyone else's experience is this common or unlikely due to being a slower spreading type of cancer and a small lump?

Thank you for your help.
