That's not a bad idea, but I honestly don't even think it is big enough to do a needle biopsy! I walked over to the office after work that morning hoping for an answer and he gave me one..."I believe it is a reactive node and I am not concerned about it." Same thing from his resident. I think it is actually a bit smaller already. There is a point where it just becomes crazy...I still have a few nodes left on that side of my neck and they still work so I should be glad. I am going to try to calm down and just follow the doctor's advice this time. I have always been a catastrophic thinker and this stuff can just send me over the top. If he had any concern, he is a very thorough guy and I am sure he would have acted further if it warranted it. This thing is so tiny, I feel kind of stupid about the whole thing. But detecting this cancer early is the only reason I am still around to bug out. Thanks for the input. I appreciate it. Denise
