A tumor can be very small yet still leak cancer cells into the lymphatic system, if the cells get past the lymphatic system the cancer cells find other places to nest.

I agree, my husband recently went through this: he had a sarcoma removed from his abdomen a few years ago: actually he had it done twice, plus a lot of radiation. We know the chances of it returning are pretty good, but radiation has helped. Not too long ago our primary doctor found a lump in his breast tat was sore. She sent him to the radiologist who decided a biopsy was necessary. Yep, it was very small, but it was cancer. No, it was different from carcinoma but it is still or was still a cancer. The good news, it was so small that when they went back in to remove any remaining tissue, they learned the biopsy itself had taken care of it.
Hope, good luck to you and your family.
