The nodes were too small to be considered. less an 8mm and SUV very, very slight. So no surgery, all signs disappeared after chemo. They are radiating a lymph node on my left side just because that's were my cancer is located. Just as a precaution.
Also with a PET there's a chance of a false positive which I believe was really the case.
