Cancer - discovery of new infected lymph nodes

discovery of new infected nodes
by missopie, 22 hours
three 'suspecious' catagory lymph nodes Lymph node
found eleven (11) months after remission was declared, all previous scans were clear.  There is no cancer noted anywhere else in body or organs.  I found a study that said that removal of nodesLymph nodes
gave much better results for survival time than if not removed. The questionable nodes are:
1.) one just above the diaphram in the right paraesophicael region 0.94    
     x0.77 with uptake of fdg of 3.32, this node abuts the inferior vena cava and the esophagus  and is located in the medline

2.) one along the right paraortic region max suv of 4.93 at level of L3
and:.
3.)at level L4 one to the right to 1.49 cm, suv of 5.38  

Also, my CA125 was up from 4 to 8.   So I imagine the vote is for active C as not.   My question is this. Would it be too disturbing to remove the nodes?
By that I mean take the chance of unleasing other micro C cells in the area or would chemo (which I do not want) be the choice?   I am taking no other medications except high does of vitimins
and have just started a 'lymphaticLymphatic obstructioncleanse' (herbal) large doses of Turmeric and B17 (apricot seeds)  What do you think?  I there histories of nodes to return to normal on thier own? Appreciate your input.   missopie P.S. Have slight cold at time of blood test. does that have any effect on the CA125 test?  Thanks.

I forgot to mention that I had almost forgotten at the time of my last Bl. test and scan with my Dr.. the fact that the ca125 could spike with theBudwig diet.   I was so upset about the higher reading of the blood test with the Dr. that I didn't calm myself by recalling that fact at the time until I reread the book.  But, I did not like the test results coming back from Manila as lower and the CA125 coming in higher.  Lots to figure out!   Thanks!   Missopie

Fortunately I have a very sane Dr. who thinks we need to wait a bit to see, same as I was thinking.  I will go back on Dec. 1st. for another scan.  I have been on the 'Budwig' diet, have you heard of that? It is the cottage cheese flax seed diet, (and other things such as no meats, only veg. etc.) and it did state that the diet can cause a spike in the marker tests especially the CA125, The CCheese and Flax seed combination is suppose to pull the cancer cells out of the body and also kill them, etc.  I did send the urine test to the Phillippeans and it came back as 8 tenths of a point lower than the previous test that I sent them before I started the diet. Which means, there are less 'live' cancer cells in the body.  If there is any drop at all in the test it is suppose to be a sign the diet is working. Thank heavens!
You can read about it in the book by Bill Henderson called: 'Cancer Free - Your Guide to Gentle Non-Toxic Healing'  very interesting and direct.
Thank you for your interest and will be interested in any ideas or comments you may have.  Good luck to you and if you are a C.patient I hope all is going well for you.   Sincerely, Missopie   P.S. I love NYC, I should have lived there!

Yes a cold could effect a CA125.  The doctor should want to see if there is a pattern forming.  The results of one test is not enough to know if the cancer has returned.

What is the doctor saying?
