That sucks... I know the feeling... Long time -!more stress, and the small things derail you. I had one of those days last week. It's when rationality hits irrationality and everything kinda just falls a apart. I'm six mos out from radiation, and the latest ct noted 2 nodes on my non operative, but also radiated side! They are noted but considered normal (within the size parameters! 8mm & 6mm) but it still makes me a nervous wreck and skeevy - ugh! Why report the if they are normal? They aren't clustered there are In two different areas, but still! I'm not supposed to know the report results just yet I'm getting them officially tomorrow! Hopefully my dr. Doesn't look at the results and say ... Normal! Because I know the full detail of the report. I think I would prefer an FNA. Just to be in the safe side. I could very well be fighting something, but I want to know for sure. I trust my drs. But frankly my health is my health and no one will look after it the way I will... So believe me I know the tension you are feeling. Will keep my fingers crossed and toes, and say prayers for you that your ulcer clears before then, and that your node is just misbehaving. smile take care and hugs... This disease is scary stuff. And it blind sides you ocassionally !
