As far as the opposite side nodes flaring up, the cancer can't "cross over" as they are not connected. Perhaps the only way cancer could appear there now would be that it was undetected there at the start and it would have had to come from some Primary site that drained to that side. Could be infection. How is your WBC ? Are they tender? May also explain the greenish color of your mucus?

Perhaps on another topic, my mucus was pretty much white as I remember it and I carried a small Styrofoam cup with me everywhere and would even put it in my pocket when I didn't want people to see it. UCK I also kept one by my bed and I would wake up gagging as well. It gets so bad for some that they had to rent a suction machine to suck it out. Totally disgusting phase of this Tx.

Where are the Eagle going anywhere?
