Hi, I never had any pain, discomfort etc. I asked for options and they gave me the removal
plan and I said do it. 10 days later I knew the answer.
Unless the nodes are actually examined by a radiologist you will never know for sure.
Even the fine needle biopsy had questionable results BUT the removal was the only way
to know for sure. The beauty of that process was that if the radiologist found cancer cells,
the removal of those nodes and the other 39 was done at the same time. Thus, knowing the whole story so they could plan the very best treatment plan (ie no chemo because cells stayed in the 2 nodes) only direct high radiation.
