Thanks so much for the update and the helpful information. This sounds like it has a good chance to provide long term remission.
It also seems through anecdotes on this board that chemo can wipe or suppress those micro mets if they are present in other nodes.
If you want a great story about radiation and lymph node mets - search for the user “ TYtiff (I think). They don’t post anymore after being clear for 5 years.
Cheers
