I had my LAR surgery Nov. 9th, leaving me with a loop illiostomy. 11/13 lymph nodes were positive. Afterward I ended up with an infection and positive blood culture requiring hospitalization. I had a contrast CT scan and besides the infection, it showed an enlarged right pelvic lymph node measuring 1.1 cm that was reported to be metastatic and they recommended follow up.
I asked about this and was brushed off, told they would do another scan later.
I'm on round 3 of Folfox. Does anyone know if the lymph node would be surgically removed or will chemo take care of it? Feeling worried with cancer still hanging around.
