Lymph node mets after initially being lymph node negative?

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone here went on to develop axillary lymph node mets even though you were lymph node negative after the initial surgery. My mastectomy was in February 2020, and I was lymph node negative, Oncotype 7. Recently, doctors accidentally found a slightly enlarged axillary lymph node on the cancer side during imaging for something else. I'm getting a biopsy on it this coming Wednesday. I'm just stunned.

    orangeflower,

    I am sorry you have found yourself in this position. The only thing I can say, which is not much of a comfort, is that bc can be very unpredictable. I believe your situation is not common but neither is it unheard of. There are simply no guarantees with bc. Take care and I hope it turns out to be nothing.
