neck nodes?
For those that have had recurrence to supraclavical and neck nodes - how big were they when you found them? I have found 2 very petite pea size nodes and don't know if these are enlarged due to an infection or something or if I should be worried about these. One is right above my collar bone on the opposite side and the other is on the back of my neck, right below the base of my skull on the affected side. I have had swollen glands before and these are not those. I dont ever remember having anything swollen in these locations before from a cold or anything like that, i guess that is why these have me wondering.
I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a recurrence to neck nodes so that i can know if i should be worrying about these. The one above my collar bone has been there at least since the end of July, but I didnt really worry about it until I just found the one on the back of my neck. I am seeing my onc at the end of Oct. Is this something I should worry about before then? Should I be calling and asking them about these? or should I not even worry about these at all?
