Who is this surgery for?
- Confirmed diagnosis of cancer that has spread (metastasized) to one or more lymph nodes or distant organs.
- Presence of symptoms related to metastatic disease, such as persistent swollen lymph nodes, unexplained weight loss, fever, or night sweats.
- To control the growth and spread of cancer, even if symptoms are not yet severe (proactive management).
- As a palliative measure to relieve pain, obstruction, or other complications caused by tumor masses.
- Following initial treatment for primary cancer where monitoring reveals metastatic progression.
How to prepare
- Comprehensive Staging: Undergo imaging scans (CT, PET-CT, MRI) and possibly a lymph node biopsy to confirm metastasis and determine the extent of disease.
- Medical Evaluation: Complete blood tests, heart function tests (ECHO/MUGA), and kidney function tests to assess fitness for treatment.
- Consultation: Detailed discussions with the oncologist about treatment goals, options, potential side effects, and expected outcomes.
- Pre-medications: May receive medications to prevent nausea or allergic reactions before certain therapies.
- Lifestyle & Support: Arrange for support during treatment, discuss nutrition plans, and address any dental or other health issues.
Risks & possible complications
- Treatment Side Effects: Common effects include fatigue, nausea, hair loss (from chemo), low blood counts (increasing infection risk), and neuropathy.
- Organ Toxicity: Potential damage to the heart, kidneys, liver, or lungs from certain chemotherapy or targeted drugs.
- Immune-related Reactions: With immunotherapy, there is a risk of the immune system attacking healthy organs (e.g., colitis, pneumonitis).
- Infection: Increased susceptibility due to immunosuppression from both cancer and treatment.
- Disease Progression: Despite treatment, cancer may continue to grow or become resistant to therapy.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Immediate Post-Treatment: Monitoring for acute side effects after chemotherapy or immunotherapy sessions; managing nausea and fatigue.
- Ongoing Monitoring: Regular blood tests and follow-up scans to assess treatment response and detect any new issues early.
- Symptom Management: Proactive use of medications for pain, nausea, and other side effects; nutritional support to maintain strength.
- Lifestyle Adjustments: Gradual return to activities as energy permits; emphasis on rest, balanced diet, and mild exercise when possible.
- Psychosocial Support: Access to counseling, support groups, and palliative care teams to address emotional and psychological well-being.

Aadya Mehta, a 42-year-old software architect...
Aadya Mehta, a 42-year-old software architect and mother of two young children, had always been healthy. Over three months, she developed a persistent, dull ache in her left armpit, followed by drenching night sweats and unexplained weight loss. A small, painless lump she initially dismissed grew rapidly. Her primary doctor ordered imaging, which revealed enlarged lymph nodes throughout her chest and abdomen. A biopsy confirmed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, a type of metastatic lymph cancer. Her oncologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended an aggressive course of R-CHOP chemotherapy, explaining it was the standard, most effective treatment for her aggressive cancer type. Aadya's treatment was grueling; she experienced severe fatigue, nausea, and lost her hair, forcing her to take a leave from work. Her husband and parents became her pillars. After six cycles, a PET scan showed complete metabolic response, no detectable cancer. In recovery, her energy slowly returns, and her hair is growing back. Emotionally, she journeyed from initial terror and guilt about her family's future to a determined focus on getting through each day of treatment. Now, in remission, she feels profound gratitude and a redefined perspective on life, cherishing small moments with her family, though she lives with the cautious anxiety of follow-up scans.
