Hi.

I was treated for a T2N1M0 tongue cancer last year. I had radiotherpy and surgery. I've just found I have a hard lump on the opposite side arm pit. I'm completely freaking out. Is this something that anyone has heard of? I see my consultant next week by my mind has gone into over drive.

Cheers

Richard

  • Hi Richard, when you see your consultant next week, I'm sure he will be able to put your mind at rest. Our bodies take a good battering with the RT, and things crop up which are worrying, most are nothing.

  • Hi Richard  I have had similar and usually these things turn out to be nothing. All the best Minmax

  • Thanks. It does seem strange that its the opposite side and i dont think those nodes drain the nead and neck. Hopefully its nothing sinister. Thanks

  • Just hang on in there Richard as im sure your consultant will sort the problem out so avoid looking at Google as we are all different with different symptoms and diagnoses, i like many others have had lumps appear and then disappear, the important thing is to get it checked as you will be doing. Good luck with your appointment, take care.
