Hi, Everyone.
I just found another pea-sized mass in my neck. It's practically in the same spot as the last mass that I found. After my initial SND (29 nodes clear), I found a mass this past summer, had an excisional biopsy of 3 more negative nodes. I've been battling a cold and cough all week. I'm trying not to freak out like I did last time. I have a follow up appointment on 1/13/11. I'm not sure if I should wait or call for a sooner appointment.
Anxiety peaking again!
