Re: Enlarged Lymph nodes after surgery...chemo only option?

Don't know what area you live in, small/rural or large city, but I'd try and get a 2nd opinion if I were you.  Most insurance will pay for that.

I've had lung cancer surgeries - one on each side, and as a routine part of the surgeries they removed a couple of lymph nodes - each side.  I myself would much prefer surgery to chemo but think that you should investigate all options.  It's been nine months since the cancer was removed from my left lung, four years since I lost a lobe on my right side to cancer.  All tests say I'm cancer free and my blood oxygen level is between 95 and 97% - in the normal range for those who've never had cancer.  Surgery can sometimes be a very wise option.  Yup, chemo was one of the options given to me for treatment nine months ago but I chose surgery and am glad I did.
