Hi everyone.. It has been a long time since last post. I am T1NoMx tongue cancer 8/08, s/p partial glossectomy and partial lymph node dissection, after which the surgeon said that the nodes that were removed were enlarged and concerning, but apparently were negative for involvement. I have been going along my merry, busy way but about 2 months ago, have noticed 3 enlarged lymph nodes in the left clavical, below the area of dissection. They are non painful, 1 is much larger than the others and ther has been some swelling to the left clavical as well. MD tried prednisone to decrease swelling with no effect, if anything they are bigger now. My scheduled PET scan is coming up next week(finally)! My worry and anticipation has grown over the past days. I do not get alarmed easily over changes in my mouth or such, but this has me worried, What do y'all think? I will update on PET results when they come, Thanks for the support
