Please help me read this lymph node biopsy result. :(

I was diagnosed with IDC last Wednesday. One axillary lymph node (the lowest one in armpit) looked a little thicker during ultrasound guided biopsy so the doctor also biopsied that lymph node. The result came back positive :(.

Here is the lymph node biopsy result -

1. Tumor is not surrounded by lymph node cortex. Clinical correlation
necessary to determine location of lesion.

2. The core biopsied lesion represented an axillary lymph node with
thickened cortex and echogenic hilum.


Does it mean I might only have one lymph node affected since other lymph nodes look normal under ultrasound?



Thanks

Faye
