New update-
I saw my Rad Onc today and he was very interested in the neck swelling.
I found out it's in my supraclavicular node area. He immediately said "we need a ct scan", and I told him I had one, so he called the hospital for the report. He said if it doesn't go down soon, to let him know.
He asked if had any pain in areas other than the breast, like the back, and I said a little. (the original pet/ct said I had spots in my lumbar spine and pelvis that were suspicious for mets)
I don't think I have anything going on there, but I was happy to see he was concerned, seemingly more so than my regular Onc.
He looked at the radiated area and said it's still reacting to the rad treatment, which I take as a good sign that the rads are still doing what they were meant to do. (I am 1 month out of rads)
