Lymph Nodes, How Many Taken

DrienneB

Hi Everyone, If you have a few minutes for this and you are able, would you give me the following data on your cancer? I am most interested in learning about your own experience with regards to cancer type/stage and number of lymph nodes dissected.  I am sending these questions to a few of the discussion boards concerning female cancers. Thank you, jane

1. Primary tumor location:
2. Month/year of cancer diagnosis:
3. Stage determined when cancer first discovered:
4. Stage determined at time of or after initial debulking surgery:
5. Grade/Type of tumor:
6. Quantity of Lymph Nodes Removed:

Here’s mine:

1. Uterus
2. May/2013
3. Stage III
4. Stage IIIB
5. Grade 3/MMMT or Carcinosarcoma
6. 84 lymph nodes
