I'm starting my 4th week. Besides R tonsil I have two R lymph nodes 1.6cm and .9 cm three weeks before start of treatment.

One has shrunk significantly during chemo rad. The other, right next to it but kind of under the chin has not, maybe even has grown slightly.

Does anyone know what this means? I don't trust my RO. On different weeks she has answered questions differently. She told me that that doesn't mean anything.

Any input is appreciated!
