They took 17 lymph nodes

They take a lymph node out to find out how far your cancer are. If the lymph node is full of cancer, every one they took out has cancer, that means you're pretty late stage and they give you a different dosage of chemotherapy. Mine was zero. I was lucky. They took 17 out and none of them had a cancer. So it didn't spread to lymph nodes. That's good news.
