Hello all,
Hernia diagnosis after months of very poor digestion and cramping.
Surgery planned via family doctor
Rad onc again not agreeing that this was a result of chemo-I give up with him.
I received good mdi news but still not clear news.
My upper neck lymph node has reduced from 1.6 cm to 1.3
They would like to see it under 1, though they initially said they would like to see it under 1.5. They aren't suggesting anything other than lets continue to wait and see.
I am10 months out of treatment.
Though everything else is clear-base of tongue - I can't help but be concerned of course.
3 months another mri is ordered.Though i may be clear here I can't help but wonder if it will still keep shrinking .If not it will require surgery. Any feedback here or experience would be helpful.
Rad onc not very thorough in explaining where I am- AM i worrying too much here ?
