I was told today that if my lymph nodes were free of cancer I would still have to have 3 internal radiations. I am ofcourse a basket case and wish Monday would get here so i can get my lymphadenectomy over with. If the nodes are positive i would then have 20 pelvic radiation treatments, instead of the internal. Anyway, I was wondering how many lymph nodes will be taken out. I know he doesn't test as he goes cause i have to wait a whole week to get the results. Thanks for letting me vent. Hope everyone is doing good. Thanks, evie
