Well, I got an MRI done this week and here's what it said:
"A 2.2 cm well-circumscribed soft tissue nodule is noted just posterior to the
right submandibular gland. This does extrinsically impinge upon the posterior
surface of the right submandibular gland. This enhances mildly and is most
suggestive of abnormal lymph node.
Conclusion:
1. Solitary 2.2 cm cervical soft tissue mass seen just posterior to the right
submandibular gland. This is suspicious for the possibiity of a malignant lymph
node. Biopsy is recommended."
I did try a magnet on it for three weeks and it didn't do anything.
Now that they think it's cancerous, is it better to get rid of it do ya think?
It only enhanced mildy (as opposed to moderately or intensely), so that's good,
but still ...
I've had cancerous nodes removed before, which didn't stop cancer from
spreading, however, wouldn't it "reduce" the chances and reduce tumor load? Or should I
just get a PET-CT (that I've been avoiding due to radiation)? And, if it still appears
malignant, I'd be back to square one anyway with the same question ... to excise or not? :(
