My surgeon took my right pelvic lymph node for testing since my cancer seemed to be on the right side of my prostate. I don't think there was any issue at all. If he hadn't told me before he was doing it I doubt I'd know.

When we discussed it prior, I asked what were the "ramifications" of removal. He read the litany of things they have to tell you about any surgery (I call it the public service announcement LOL). I asked again emphasizing the word "ramifications", his response was that there would likely be nothing I'd notice. He was correct.

The testing on it turned out to be negative. Yay.
