Brian,
Are there different sets of statistics (odds) for where the cancerous nodes were, how many, etc.? For example, I had micro mets (didn't show up on the CAT scan with contrast) in one lymphnode, the one that was closest to the tumor in my jaw. Out of 17 nodes this was the only one with cancer.
I know we are all different but I just feel the need to ask this question.

SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
