How Can Cancer In The Lymph Nodes Be Treated?
Hi I m looking for more advice. I have had my bladder and prostate removed. The cancer was also found in 4 lymph s node out of 15. 2 on each side of my crouch. I m 70 a Vietnam vet exposed to agent orange. Any way my doctors at the VA said chemo won t work for me. Nothing more is being done except 6 months cat-scan. So far so good. I had surgery done last june. I had read about different treaments. What your thoughts.

Hi,
As the lymph nodes are involved, it is an advanced stage cancer and no more surgical procedure is possible. Consult an oncologist and plan for chemo or radio therapy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
