Re: Hoarssness of voice and right supraclavicular node enlarged: help!!
I have just read the letter from my past visit from the oncologist to the dr (you can opted to get copy of communication)
it says "that the node is too small at present and I have been reassuring to her but I would like to see her again when she comes for her Herceptin.."
That definitely does not sound good please send me good vibes I am so scared. The scarry moments I have had in teh past have never been so strong and I was always the one acting to get scan other something, this is the first time that the oncology team seem concerned..and really the alternative (infection is very small).
