My cancer is in the right lung and it has spread to a Hilar lymph node. The Hilar nodes are in lung area and surgery is an option with them. However the cancer has also spread to at least one Mediastinal lymph node. These are associated with the spine area and my doctors told me they have tried surgery on them but the results were not good so they stopped doing that.
I suppose it is possible to find somebody willing to do them. I don't know about that.
