Thinking of You & Praying it is Nothing!
Hi Steph,
I am so sorry to hear that you have something new to worry about. I hate times like these. The waiting and not knowing is brutal and having your Onc. out of town sure doesn't help matters.
I haven't had any node problems thus far, knock on wood, so I am of really no help in that regard. This area that you are describing is it on the same side as your port by chance? Just wondering, that if it is, could it possibly be related to port trouble that has gone undetected?
Just want to let you know that I am thinking of you and praying that it is nothing and that you remain NED for forever!
Please keep us posted.
Love, Hugs & God Bless,
Nicola
