From other messages on this forum,i have read where patients have had a significant amount of their Lymph Nodes removed during their surgery.I am wondering why my hubbys doctor, said that my husbands nodes were to big, and also to many to remove.The catscan and petscan revealed this to be the case.On tuesday his surgeon is going to do a laparscopy and take a look around, and do a biopsy of these lymph nodes.I feel it would have been best to open up his abdomen and remove what he can, there and there...I would really appreciate other views about this........Best wishes from joy.
