Hi,

I now have mucositis, just got over thrush (due to meds), and now have a swollen node on my left side (opposite the side being treated). It's been there since the mucositis set in (about two weeks).

The node is tender and mushy, indicative of an inflamatory condition.

However, the doc wants a CT scan and a PET scan...

Now I'm sweating it out, confused, on edge, apprehensive, etc just like prior to having sugery or the RT.

I had a right neck dissection with a rt tonsilectomy, and am currently undergoing IMRT (with 9 treatments to go).

Did anyone have a node pop up during RT due to the trauma going on in the mouth?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated, as always.

Best Regards,


Oscar
