Gee I have never heard of all the nodes positive. Thank goodness it's been detected before its metastasized. I had the exact same chemo except mine was every three weeks instead of two. Best tips I can give you is get a special card from your oncology doctor to fast track you in the hospital emergency ward should you need to go there. I didn't go to emergency but it did make me feel much more at ease to know there would be no hours and hours waiting if I had needed to go. Tip two is get yourself a good thermometer and if your temp rises to 38C or more go straight to emergency. I checked my temp twice a day every day and although i got close to 38C it went down after a few hours and I got over whatever infection my body was annoyed at. Follow those two tips and you will be right as rain. <3
