"Your Dr. said, 1 lymph node came back positive and also stated the Oncologist would suggest no further treatment I would run like hell.

I see your in Texas you have MD Anderson there give them a call it's one of the best Cancer Centers around. "

What Connie said. Contact MD Anderson ASAP! Whether it is one lymph node or 20 it means the cancer has moved out of the primary location. My husband ONLY had one positive lymph node. Every doctor on his "team" recommended both chemo and radiation. You can't mess around with this.
