nodes in neck
Wondering if anyone has had mets to the lymph nodes in the neck? I work for a family practice doctor and showed him a lump I have had in my neck for two months which seems to be getting larger. He told me it was a lymph node and needed to be biopsied . I am scheduled to see my onc and have a herceptin treatment on Tuesday and have opted to wait until then. My question is if this is a met does that mean the herceptin is no longer working and how would this be treated? Would appreciate any feedback from anyone this has happened to.
