Hi Markus,

Yes, you are right--however, they feel they can discern between inflammation due to radiation and any tumor activity.

My gut feeling is that the node was enlarged due to thrush and mucositis...it since has gone down in size. However, they want to make sure. I guess I'll find out by this Friday what this swollen lymph node means.

I'm finding out that once you have scca, any anomalies are now suspicious and need to be investigated.
