I was expecting stage 2A adenocarcinoma 5/15 wedge Resection removed tumor and 7 lymph nodes 1 which was positive Completed 4 rounds chemo 9/15( given in case any cells floating around.) First scan good, except were watching a few nodes. I was having back and rib pain So had second scan done Jan 2016 instead of waiting till.3/2016. Saw pulmonary dr, and wants nonpayment week due to the.enlargements of nodes. I am terrified And so worried, the nodes are in mid chest bronchial I believe.am so confused About it all and don't know what to expect. Did they miss these lymph nodes ? What changes now,.treatment ? Stage change outlook? If anyone has had anything similar please post...So worried Thank you

Progression in cancer.
Cancer cell are smart little cells. if its means to reproduce, the pathway by which it forms, it modifies itself and finds a new pathway to grow. This has been a major problem in learning to treat it. Receiving a report of No Evidence of Disease (NED) does not mean that the cancer is 100% gone, only that there is no sign of any measurable metabolic activity. The key word being measurable, there is no test yet sensitive enough to measure activity of a small number of cancer cells but the new circulating DNA biopsies (liquid biopsies) show serious promise.
