I went to a lung cancer support group because of a lymph node on my left lower neck suggested LC. Then a nodule showed up in my left upper lobe. Had a lung wedge resection and it came back negative.
My last ct scan shows 3 parotid lymph nodes that look worriesome so now I'm scheduled for a pet/ct scan on 7/9. These are back on my right side where my first diagnosis for scc of the right tonsil came. So now I quess I'm back with head and neck scc along with possible SCC of the lungs. No primary was found for the left side nodes yet.
Right now I'm pretty discouraged and down but will fight the fight as soon as I understand where the battle really is. It's been a little over 2 years since I first was DXed with scc of the tonsil, had right radical neck disection. Has anyone had this type of battle and if so how is it addressed. Had Chemo and Radiation for the left side but not the right. Just looking for support, i have no answers to my questions fears and confusion. I know I need to wait for the results of the next test but I don't have a good feeling as to what I'm up against this time. Thanks for any feedback.
