I am new to the multi-focal world. However, my thought is it is much like the skin cancers I've had removed. My Dr briefly discussed removal and said it would be laparoscopic. However, I still have tests and won't see her until July. Petscan showed a hot spot with an axillary lymph node and I had the biopsy done without conclusive results. The next step was an excisional biopsy, but the surgeon says it would basically be exploratory surgery with 30% chance of edema issues, since he couldn't palpitate it. I am trying for an ultrasound to see if the lymph node shows up differently. Not easy!

marye2, Hello, If you are willing to share, I am curious as to what your current diagnosis is and if you have had previous surgeries or treatments. From my experience I had the laparoscopic (VATS) surgery and removed the PET hotspot and they also removed /tested a few lymph nodes. Following surgery and lab analysis they were able to confirm their suspicions.
