Don, that seems logical. Although whether to do that mopping with chemo or radiation is another question, best left up to the docs I'm sure. Maybe diagnosis and treatment have come a long way since I was diagnosed 5 years ago, but at the time both my oncologists said that I needed the rads to take care of any stray cells. Would be interesting to speak to those docs about whether they'd make the same decision today, suppose they would.... except my MO has retired.

Oh and my first FNA - of a node the size of a walnut - came back negative, which I gather isn't all that unusual.
