[quote]Extra capsular anything is usually a signal that they should follow up your surgery with rads and chemo... smile[/quote]The reason I asked about extracapsular is it did not pop up as a term referenced in my tests, diagnosis, or treatment. The main points were the biopsies of the BOT primary and FNA of the lymph stated "poorly differentiated SCC", no mention of extracapsular.

Can they even determine extracapsular from an FNA? I am thinking they can really only determine this if the entire nodes are removed then examined.

Given I got the full "drano" chemo treatment, maybe it does not matter as any loose, micro cancers were killed off which is fine with me. I sure sleep much better knowing my whole system got a full flush then chemo-rads to ensure total annihilation of the nasties.
