Neck node diessection/supraclavicle node removal surgery

 
So feeling nauseas after first chemo yesterday so resting today with plenty of water and anti sickness tablets!

My supra clavicle node I asked to be test s came back with cancerous cells so when I have surgery I will be having now on top of mastectomy/ axilla lymph node clearance- supraclavicle node removal and neck node removal!!! Just to be safe....take them all is say!

So will have some funky scars but I don’t mind...adds to my character

    Oh bugger but at least you have a treatment pkan now. Not a pleasant thought I expect. Hope it's planned soon and you can put this surgery behind you soon.

    @"Prime time" I had no clear nodes above or below my collorbone and my neck nodes were all metastatic as well.
    They were not removed during my axillary node clearance as they said that they would have to cut me too much and that it was more usual to use radiation to get to them.
    Everyone gets a different story.
