Welcome to the forum ! Is it a distant spread or a local spread to the lymph nodes as they are different in terms of staging .
Distant lymph node involvement is classed as stage 4 . After chemotherapy my mum did not have any live cancer cells in her lymph nodes so it is possible . They have various mechanisms to try and contain the cancer which becomes the focus in a stage 4 setting ! But some people do respond to treatment . Not all yet ! If it’s near the primary it is most likely they will be removed during surgery .
If you can give us a bit more information that would be great !
Hi spoke to consultant the other day and said just got to wait till I have another scan I’m on a 12 chemo course number 10 next week I was told by the doc that the cancer is shrinking but she said they will discuss what to do after the scan
Doc said cannot cure....but will see what other alternative things they could do....the chemo is very hard makes me feel terrible but what can I do......
My mum had six months on chemo then she managed six months off before she had to have another six months . But the six months off did help her regain her strength .
Do you know if your a candidate for Immunotherapy?
My mum was so rough on chemo too . You will be ready for a good break from it to draw your strength back up . Hopefully they will have another approach that will be easier on you . take care ,
