Node on the Aorta

Has anyone had a node on their aorta?  After my mom's recovery from her fallopian tube cancer, it now appears that she has a node on her aorta....she is putting off a biopsy for two weeks so she can spend the time her her grand kids and take them on vacation.  Has anyone heard of this...and if so, what are the risks/complications?  She has had a full hysterectomy and was treated for ovarian cancer with her fallopian tube cancer diagnosis.  Please give me any information you can to ease my mind.  Thanks!

My Aunt just had surgery for what they thought was ovarian, but turned out to be fallopian cancer.  When they did the hysterectmy they said her lymph nodes were enlarged and they tried to remove them but they were attached to the aorta.  This could be what they are referring to if they are enlarged.  My Aunt had the surgery, but will now do chemo for the nodes, so there is treatment out there and her doctor is very optimistic about everything.

 Hope this helps.  Take Care
