    I had 4 lymph nodes removed...
    I don't know if this is a help to you, but I had a PET scan... My onc said I had inflammed lymph nodes along with my BC. It sounded pretty serious, I was very concerned. Well I had biopsies and removal surgeries and had 4 lymph nodes removed with one on my neck and they came back negative. My doctor assured me that a person has thousands of lymph nodes and removal of those few were minimal. I feel better to be certain, removed what was questionable. I feel fine, just a few tiny scars.

    Hope this helps, welcome to the board!

    Neck lymph node
    Hi:
    I had cancer in one of the left intrammary nodes, which, according to the oncologist is "unusual". I also had cancer in the lymph nodes under the arm, which were removed as well as a lumpectomy. Chemo and radiation took care of the intrammamary node, at least we hope.
    Hugs,
    Marlene

    I had lymph node above my collar bone
    not exactly my neck but close. After chemo I had a mastectomy and removal of 18 lymphnodes but I knew right along they were not going to be able to remove due to where it was the one near my collarbone. So they did radiation rx's from my neck to my breast and we are hoping for the best outcome down the road. I hope all goes well for you. Keep up your spirits!!!!
