Prior to surgery (9/17/2013) and abdominal CT scan (9/9/2013) I have been given the designation of a T2N0M0. How to they test to see if it has spread to lymph nodes? Do they remove a few to test? If so, where are they located? I can't seem to find any on anatomic diagrams. Will they light up on the CT scan tomorrow if positive? Thanks. |
