And if cancer is in the lymph nodes, it sort of tends to climb up the stairs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s oversimplifying it, but just to help explain. And they took three, and the cancer is in the first lymph node. It&#8217;s not in the second two and three. So it is there, but it&#8217;s only small.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Explaining how it works, she said: &#8220;So what happens now is they send that to America. I&#8217;ve no idea why they send it to America, but they do, apparently, that&#8217;s normal. They send it to America to see how aggressive the cancer is. And then I will know about that in approximately two weeks. So it&#8217;s waiting again, but never mind. That&#8217;s just the way it is. If it&#8217;s aggressive, then I&#8217;ll have to undergo chemo first and then after that, radiotherapy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Like this s tory?
