I just started blogging the other day but I just thought of a question on Mom's staging. They staged her at IIIB T3 N2 M0 squoamos but yet her records talk about metastases involving the left paratracheal nodal chains w/ additional metasteses in the precarnal node. That came from her PET scan but then her EU talks about 2 nodes entirely consistent with metastatic disease. I'm no dr but I know metastatic is not a good term??? Anyone know what that means?
