Congratulations on the negative lymph nodes and clear margins - these are truly encouraging results that many in this community will celebrate with you. After surgery, treatment options often include discussions about chemotherapy, hormone therapy, or radiation depending on specific tumor characteristics, so connecting with your oncology team about next steps will help you understand what path might be best for your situation. This community has many members who have navigated similar decisions and can offer valuable support as you move forward in your treatment journey.
