Hi, I am one week into radiotherapy for SCC of left tonsil bed and left neck lymph nodes. Tonight I’ve noticed a very small node on the right hand side of my neck, it feels exactly like my initial symptom was on the other side. I’ve messaged the hospital about it, but obviously I’m really worried about this and just wondered if anybody else had had a similar experience, and if so what was the outcome?

What is LINAC please?
Linear accelerator. The machine that delivers your treatment

At least one of the LINACs at Southampton certainly does a positioning mini CT scan on which they can see the tumour as my oncologist told me that he could see the positive effect the treatment was having and cancelled the last chemo session
But it doesn’t allow for change of RT. That’s what I meant
