wow Deena, looks like we have a lot in common... with 3C and the superclavicular nodes. I had 2 with cancer showing from PET, but after chemo the cancer was gone,. I just finished radiation, and now will continue herceptin every 3 weeks for a year. I talked to my oncologist about what I need to do next and he said nothing. they used the standard treatment on me and it worked. I am still so scared that this dreaded disease will come back on me if i sit around and do nothing. I am real interested in what the doctors tell you. Please keep us posted. thanks so much Bonita
