Stage 1 to 3. Suspicious nodes on US, but no surgery yet.

I had a biopsy done on the largest suspicious lymph node on my cancer side. It came back positive. The Nurse navigator gave me preliminary results that there appear to be a total of 4 suspicious nodes and this would change me from Stage 1 to Stage 3. Since this is treated differently, I am awaiting an appointment with the Oncologist later in the week. I'm just wondering if I can still hold out hope that I might be still stage 2, even though one node came back positive. My surgery was scheduled for early February but now I'm not sure of that any more.
