Hi Guys

I updated you earlier that in my follow up appointment the consultant told me that after my PET and CT scan that there were no signs of cancer anywhere in my body, that was great news!

However the lymph node that was cancerous on the right side of my neck is still a little swollen and is causing me anxiety 

I was told that the lump had reduced significantly in size from 9cm to 2.5cm.

I thought that it would have disappeared by now

is this normal Tired face

please let me know if anyone has experienced similar

  • The scan results answer your question, it's great news. It's not unusual for a lymph node to take a while to go down. Lots of people on here have said theirs took a while.
