Maureen: I also have a cancerous lymph node high in the aortic track and it apparently is inoperable. So, we are waiting to see what happens. My doctor basically has offered little by way of positive outlook. She simply has indicated that chemo is not working, radiation is not likely to be effective, and it is not operable. So, I pray a lot! Have you sought another opinion, perhaps from one of the more advanced hospitals i.e. MD Anderson, Sloan, Mayo etc????
