      Good morning – 

      I had the tumor removed and a node biopsy done last week.  The tumor site came back clear but one of the three nodes showed a microscopic measurement – 1/20th of an inch.

      I'm having a CT/PET scan done this week along with meeting with a medical and surgical oncologist.

      Any advice as to what questions to ask the Dr I meet with?

      I don't have an actual staging from the pathology but have been told I will most likely start immunothereapy and monitoring from there.
