I also have a met in the right hilar node. I was told that it would cause me to loose an entire lung if they tried to remove it due to its location.

Four years ago another patient posted that he did have his removed. Here is the link to his post and followup questions:http://community.melanoma.org/cgi-bin/mpip/dbforum.pl?header=search&db=main_bb&post=337338

My best to you and Derek,
