Linda,
I missed your post the first time but I am so glad you decided to fight. I was dx with IIIA and that was over 4 1/2 years ago. I had positive lymph nodes in the middle of my chest as well. I hope and pray that this first line treatment is the ticket, but if you need more...don't hesitate. Many here have led very active happy lives as they are treated. Best wishes to you.
Nina
