Another Ly mph node on the left side showed some signs of still being active on the left side based on CT done at 8 weeks. We are having another Pet/CT and CT done on 9/17.
we just saw them last week and as I metioned the swelling has been there but not like it has been the last 4-5 days. LAst Night it truly looked as if he had a balloon in his neck infront of his adam apple arear. the fluid goes clear arond his neck but is heavier up front. The RO and ENT both referred to it as swelling and Fluid not actually water. The fever going on at the same time (Low grade) seems interesting. Motri is definetly controling it but makes me wonder what is goin on???
