Hi
My Dad sadly passed away from metastatic lung cancer in November.
On his CT report it stated that he had enlarged retroperitoneal lymph nodes.
Is it common/possible for these nodes to be enlarged by the lung cancer alone? Or are they likely to be caused by a undiagnosed prostate cancer?
Hi Ishy32 I am sorry for the loss of your dad. I think you are asking a question that no one will know the answer too unfortunately. It is really hard when you have lost a loved one, have you looked at joining the Bereaved family and friends forum where you can connect with other people in a similar situation to yourself.
Thank you.
