Hi. I my left kidney removed last year due to a cancerous growth. All good & followed up with chemo. However, I now have a cancer within my left sided para-aortic node, which is unfortunately aggressive and grows faster than chemo can shrink it. I am seeing the original surgeon next week, who, up to this point, has refused to perform surgery to remove this node due to it's position and the risk to me. Is there anyone out there with a similar experience, anyone out there who has had such surgery ? Did you need to go for second opinion to get that surgery ? So many questions right now ! Thank you
