Thanks for your support! A nurse practitioner friend of mine called an oncologist she is friends with this afternoon. He too recommended the bx ASAP and said it would be best if they could actually bx the lymph node if it is not wrapped around the jugular. Does anyone have thoughts on that? He also suggested I ask ENT to order PET CT.
