Lymph Nodes why take them out!

Our surgeon was in a hurry lol - I know that for a fact. My husband asked him to sample some since one was faintly glowing on a PSAM scan, but nodes were not removed for examination. Explanation was "they all looked normal size when he was operating".
Most days I feel like I exist in some parallel universe with no logic or that the Universe is making some very bad jokes with me and my husband.
Oh well....

@surftohealth88 So in the age of advanced PET scans, AI enabled genetic testing and daVinci robots we now access lymph glands in high risk patients as if they were nectarines in the produce aisle??
I mean, I understand that the surgeon has seen plenty of glands in his day - especially the swollen reactive ones FULL of inflammation and PCa cells…but how about the ones with just a few - or a small cluster the size of a poppy seed? Surely he can’t see those…
Know exactly how you feel, which is why on most days I don’t leave my house!!!
