Grade 2 idc with 2 positive lymph nodes

Hi everyone ive just stumbled across this page whilst googling(like you do)

I was recently diagnosed with increased grade 1 but since my lumpectomy and sentile node biopsies they confirmed that even though I now have clear margins from my 2 very small tumors 10.4mm and 4mm I have macromestatis in 2 out of 3 nodes taken, im booked in for a full node clearance on the 29th I cant help feeling down and sad, I have this horrible feeling more nodes will be affected esp with having macromestatis in 2 nodes already they briefly touched on chemo and said 4 months, just feel like they know more than what they are telling me, anyone else had this? 

Regards

Megan
