Re: Hoarssness of voice and right supraclavicular node enlarged: help!!
Thank you all again for your good thoughts
Jean,the lump is as the onc put it of "uncertain clinical significance", it not mushy at all but it is not rock hard, it is mobile but not highly mobile.. so we are not much wiser..
the fact that it is too small at mo for aspiration is the reason we are waiting. I guess I could have it out and analysed but that would be a drastic decision. I have read that over 90% of lump in that specific node are cancerous..this is why it is freaking me out and no where do they talk about infection but i guess it is a possibility for which I hold my breath for. Also I have a rash on my right arms and a bad neck for a little while which I did not mention because I did not think it was possibly related (think neck is from bad position on computer and the rash from the sun..)
There have been a few scare on this site that seemed a bit desperate and turned out to be b9. let's hope I make the list longer..
