This lump has always been there. It was the reason they originally discovered he had cancer. It is a lymph node. It was quite large prior to treatment and now it is still there but just raised. His dr has seen it and discussed with my mother surgically removing it. He has a follow up appt. with his Raidiologist and Oncologist in 2 weeks. Then they are going in for a biopsy. Thats what they did when they originally diagsosed him. He went in for day surgery and did the biopsy. Is this so uncommon? Should I be even more frightened than I am already?
