Then my primary sent me for an ultrasound and I took my time getting it because I was getting a mammogram too and I had to wait three weeks so I just did them together. The ultrasound came back bad so I called the ENT back and said, "Remember the lump you said was nothing. Well an ultrasound says it's something." So he had me come back and did a needle biopsy and I have now had a neck dissection - October 2nd. I now have an appt. Nov. 5th with both a radiation oncologist and a chemo oncologist. I will need 7 weeks of chemo and radiation from what I've heard.
