Slight node discomfort

Good evening Steve, great to hear you are doing well i would say if its causing you concern then ask your team to see if you can have an earlier check -up, all the best for your continued recovery. Take care.

Hi Steve

If you are concerned then do follow up and get an earlier appointment to settle your mind.

I had something similar happen to me after one of my ops. It was like a cramping feeling in my neck and if I massaged it it would twang and then go away. It felt as though something was catching. My consultant was not concerned. It did go away after a while and I have not had it since. It may just be part of the healing process but always best to get it checked out.

HibSteve. My oncologist and  ent consultant always told me they would sooner I contact them rather than sit and wait. If you've got your  cns or Macmillian nurses number give them a call. Or consultants medical secretary. 
Fingers x it’s nothing but best to check.

I am probably just worrying about nothing, but the "what ifs' are plaguing me.

You should call your CNS and ask to be seen. It’s not something you can leave if only to put your mind at rest 

Well I had niggles a few times after radio and chemo and was told about  pains etc and things are of no concern unless they are constant and are there for a period of time like a week or more , I did have a neck dissection also after being hit from behind while stopped at traffic likes . I had no symptoms what so ever or niggles I just felt something wasn't right , they removed 33 lymph nodes and 2 or 3 were cancersous and they found two more potential cancer sites . with one of them now active which I am being treated for along with it spreading to both lungs and  liver. so this one could be a tuff one to deal with , Well fingers crossed along with everything else lol All the best minx 

Thanks, Min. Best wishes for your treatment

HI SteveyN  Thanks All the best for the future Regards Minmax

A brief update. I had a 3 monthly ENT checkup today. The consultant used the scope up nose and all is looking good. He couldn't feel anything unusual in my nodes and suspects that the discomfort is fibrosis related.

Phew!

Thanks for all of the support.

Best

Steve
