I had 40 nodes removed. One had a bit of cancer outside it that reinforced the radiation decision ( dr. Irish said in his opinion I was cured. This was a safety measure... Just in case. ) did 33 ads and 2 chemo... Theyll keep you in overnight for chemo.  good luck you'll do fine... If you need anything let me know. Hugs - you'll get through it,
