Thanks Dave�. Will do.
Just left my ENT and I have an update. The thing that I went for is something he isn�t too worried about, (nor am I), but there is a sub mental lymph node that is midline (slightly left), in the same area that bears watching. It is 1.1 cm�s, which is the high side of normal. After talking about it for a while, we came to the conclusion that we will watch it, and revisit it next month.
Why? Knowing the pluses and minuses, the scan showed all other lymph nodes to be just like they are suppose to be, and with this only being one, and is still within the size limits, why jump right to surgery? Yes, I could have twisted his arm, and he said he would if I did, but why? I try to be logical about things, and it seems very logical to watch it. It is now baseline, so we have something to go against. I already set my appointment for next month, so I am not dragging anything out. This is just part of the �post issues� we all go through.
Am I worried that it could be something, sure, but who doesn�t. Hopefully, for those reading, the after treatment issues are normal, and they are not always �OMG�s�. Part of our �post life� is using the skills and knowledge we learn during the whole episode, and apply them to what happens next. I�ll do my best to post how this all goes.
Cheers,
Mike
