@billiemoore Yes, I did all of the regional nodes - Supraclavicular, intramammary and axilla, plus chest wall. My cancer was occult in ways, the scans did not show the extent of disease. Therefore, I was willing to go aggressive on the rads from the standpoint of my cancer seems to hide. So far, my lymphocyte count appears slightly depressed by the surgery but not by the rads. I’m hoping to get the count up a little more.
