Re: Hoarssness of voice and right supraclavicular node enlarged: help!!
Thanks for info Sheila, looks like I will have to be patient and perhaps wait another week and try to forget about it (yeah right) and since I have a sore throat if it is bad news i think it is more likely to be a lung thing as oppose to a localised supra mets.. although they could be unrelated. The problem is that everything I read does not mention infection as a possibility..this is really unsettling me..
I know that all of you understand all too well what waiting feels like and I can be a bit obsessive as oppose to go into denial..
