Hi Girls, anyone had a lump in the neck which was biopsied as benign and if so what happened with the lump. Not that I will be that lucky, I get my result on Monday. Just finished radiation for lump in the neck which was positive but turns out that, that particular treatment was for a gland deep in the neck and near the jugular. A MRI eventually found the lump on the surface of my neck that I had been complaining about since last June, which was missed by CT's and ultra sound and presumed to be caused by the underlying gland. Praying that this was just my body drawing attention to the underlying one as the biopsy was done under the thick skin on my neck which was actually the gland infused in my neck but assumed to be from other reasons and ignored. I had to ask for the MRI my lovely lady Onc is just that lovely but not too bright, she wanted to know why I wanted the MRI because nothing can be done and why would I want to know anyway. WRONG ANSWER! I told her if she didn't give me a referral I would go to my GP and get one anyway so she rand my REAL oncologis and asked his advice, he didn't hesitate and told her to give it to me, so it is really scary that so many ladies are just being fudged off through the medical system because they are not informed or just plain trust their Docs.If it is I don't know what plan of action I will have because this has come up since Herceptin/Navelbine and Rads, so I need to find another concotcion of drugs, any ideas.
Love & Hugs Lyn
