Hi, as Sheila said I'm one who has also had repeated recurrence to neck and supraclavicular, plus right axilla...I've found that the most accurate imaging device for these stubborn spots is PET, althouth now my treatment center has PET/CT fusion so that's what I'll get next time. We have done biopsies to confirm, and I would recommend at least a fine needle aspiration for this purpose, but try to avoid excisional biopsy unless your oncology surgeon has strong recommendations for this, and then get a second opinion...the reason for caution is there's potential for nerve damage in this area.
Do get these nodes checked out, and ask for a brain MRI while your're at it to set your mind at ease.
