Morning, what did your doctor say? I have read of these lymph nodes being associated with Non-Hogkins lymphoma. Please know I am not saying this is what is going on with you, but it is the only thing I've come across in my readings. Call and ask your doctor what is going on and put your mind at ease.
Take care, JC
My dr said that it is not a big problem they will be finishing without any treatment.
What treatment did you undergo after diagnosis until becoming NED?
Chemo only, my onc say that i don't need radiation, chemo is enough for me. i took toxotel + Cisplatin 3 cycles and Alimta +Cisplatin 3 cycles. A had also surgery
I have stage IV non small cell lung cancer and my voice is hoarse too. I found out (went to a ENT dr.) that a swollen lymph node is pressing up against my vocal cord on the left side. Its now paralized on that side. I may or may not get my voice back. They can't do radiation on it because there is no precise place to point the beam and may do more damage. They are trying Chemo or carboplatin/Alimta. I just started on Monday. Just praying that this one will work. I am now on my 3rd line of treatment. Voice has been like this since June.
My husband has a paralyzed vocal chord. He is being referred to an ENT who may be able to inject silicone in next to it so the working vocal chord has something to vibrate against to make sound. The appointment is not until 10/21, but we are hopeful his voice can be restored.
