Hello everyone,
I am sincerely trying to calm my anxiety and not freak out.
My husband has been diagnosed with rectosigmoid-sigmoid cancer. The CT report for “staging” says T3-4a, N2, M0.
However, I’m concerned about a part of the report that mentions, “multiple, prominent para-aortic lymph nodes.”
Is that what makes him N2? Or wouldn’t that make him M1?
So far they told us this is Stage 3 but isn’t this a metastasis?
I’ve done the search engine on Colon Club for PALN and I’m scaring myself.
What does “multiple PROMINENT nodes” really mean?
