Hello Guest,
Something just came to mind, which I cannot believe I had actually forgotten all about it.
At one point -- I think late last year -- my lymph nodes in the neck felt swollen & a bit tender, of course this got me quite concerned. So, I went in to see my onc NP (nurse practitioner), and she took a look at them. She just said that my nodes were reacting to some sort of inflammation -- it could have been a typical cold or just fighting off bacteria. I did not need to take antibiotics, though. She said for me to come back in a few weeks, please, if my nodes seemed to be worse.
Turns out she was right... the swelling went completely gone. Before I had the appt with my NP, I could've sworn that I really thought that cancer came into my nodes, since I had already recurred with a brain met as well as nodes several months before.
I hope your situation turns out to be nothing. I, for one, truly believe that despite what kind of news (good or bad), we are better off knowing the truth, instead of going on limbo and driving ourselves crazy with endless & "what if's" questions, just because this was an unknown situation! I think it is MUCH easier for us to directly deal with our issues, once we find out the truth. Denial could be a bad thing... just postponing your willingness to face on as well as close a chapter in your life, and welcome the next brand-new chapter.
All in all, we are FIGHTERS!!! Right, ladies? :-)
Positive vibes sending your way! :-)
