I know that it being in the lymph nodes isn't good so where do you go from there?? I guess this bumps him up to stage 3 perhaps I was just curious what others had to say daddysgirl Fri, 14 Sep 2007 00:00:00 GMT He needs post op chemo/rads.  I don't know if further chemo after that with just one lymphnode would add anything but it IS an option.  Right now they are studying which patients with Stage II might benefit from additional chemo.
