hi i have lung mets had chemo responded very well fin aug there was talk of cyberknife or op but on review they have found 2 nodes near widpipe v small which they think are also cancer so treatment not a option only chemo again my question is if i have chemo will it be able to get inside the lymphs or does it have to wait for it to spread outside of them first ive not had any nodes involved up to now so dont no how it works.the other thing is i was put on chemo in may no sign of these nodes then only the mets and as i had responded very well to chemo and it is meant to mop up any odd cells lurking around im surprised it as got to the nodes if the mets were stable from july to last scan in aug yes it might of been there before but surley they would have seen it on my cts all very weird.my next question is does anyone know how they can tell the diffrence from healty nodes to unhealthy nodes on a ct know seems to know the answer my next scan is not to dec then back in jan for results so a long time to wait just wondered if anyone could help with any of the above many thanks tc all laura xx
