Until recently, the presence of any cancer in a lymph node would be a clear signal that chemotherapy was required.

...trip itself was a pleasant break from studying, but parking the van in the incredibly awkward lot near Lesley College is the day’s most daunting task. PBHA policy dictates that when someone is backing up, someone else must always get out of the car and signal to the driver. Griffin dutifully pops out of the van. “Don’t let me hit anything, Steve,” she pleads as the van nearly brushes the van next to it. He laughs from the outside, puzzling over the geometry of head-on parking. Tierney...
