lymph node involvement
Hi Ajinkya,
First let me say that I am sorry that your mother has to fight this disease. This is my experience: when I was diagnosed I had supraclavical lymph node involvement, it was treated with chemotherapy and radiation. I did not have surgery for those nodes but did have all of the lymph nodes under my armpit removed at the time of my surgery. I know that this is a scary time for you and your family, this board has a wealth of information so please don't hesitate to ask any questions or address any concerns. Love surf
