Hoarssness of voice and right supraclavicular node enlarged: help!!
Hi troups,
And again I find myself in the little hours of the night searching on the net for answers.. and wishing wishing wishing..
Basically I had a sore throat a few weeks ago and felt a bit run down. This is now getting better but I still have a hoarsseness in my voice and my right supraclavicular node enlarged about 1cm, it is quite movable and i can feel the node (which is how I discovered it).
I saw my onco and he said that he will see me again in 3/4 weeks and see if it is still there or getting worse but that I could contact them if it is getting worse B4.
Basically I was not too worried until tonight (because of teh bad throat I had in the week b4 node enlarged) when I notice that my voice was getting worse (more broken ) and that the enlarged node 'may' be getting bigger (but not sure) at least it is not getting better that is for sure. It has been a week since I was seen and 2 weeks since I noticed the lump..
Any word of wisdom..?? has any of you had this kind of issues??
