wwroam - my doctor is concerned about my risk of recurrence because of the number of nodes affected - 27 of 38 when the tumor was removed; though my surgeon did get clean margins. Considering I went into surgery thinking I had 0 nodes affected, you can imagine what a bad day it was when they gave me the pathology report.

Thanks Belle. That was a lot of nodes. You would have thought at least a couple were visible. Makes my 1 node sound very modest . It wasn't seen either on the scan.
