Gino,

I am curious about the second pathology of the lymph nodes. Was it done as a second reading of the original slides or a full pathology (and I know my limited medical terminology is hampering me here) done on a different sample of the same lymph nodes? I ask the question because my treatment was protocol for T1,N0,M0 and did not include radiation. I am not certain if a second reading (or third or fourth) would have changed my treatment plan, or if there are still pieces of me existing to retest. I know tumor registries are kept, but I don't know what might remain of an original benign result. I do know that 33 lymph nodes were removed and all came back benign.

Now I have a pop song with "pieces of me" running through my brain, probably for the rest of the day!

Sincerely,
Lisa

(edited to add the 33 lymph nodes benign)
