BridgetO Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 No, but for a diferent, non-lung cancer, my surgeon took out 27 lymph nodes that he thought suspicious. 2 of them nearest my tumor were found by the pathologist to be malignant, but the rest were not. Initally the pathologist thought they all looked suspicious, too, but under the microscope they were clearly not. So I think it's not unusual for a surgeon to think a node looks suspicous, but it isn't malignant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
