If there is a positive node in a post-treatment ND, what does that mean? For example, my surgeon sort of suggested that if there was a positive node that it wouldn't be a big deal. After its removed, what are the implications? Is there a greater risk for downstream disease?

Hi Sharon,

Hope all is well. I don't see any follow up from this thread. Did your husband have the ND? how's he doing? what were the results? Let us know.

Thanks
