If, by "excise" you are talking about removing the node surgically, I
suggested that to my own oncologist when I had two small cancerous
nodes in very much the same place, and he said that was not a good
way to go about getting rid of them. He said there is significant
involvement besides just the swollen node one can see and feel. He
said the surgeon would need to remove extensive lymph tissue, etc.
He recommended involved field low-grade radiation, which I finally
decided to do because of advances made in the delivery method of
radiation. He said there would be no damage to my salivary glands---
none. But he was wrong. He was a liar as far as I am concerned.
It does appear that, as the oncologist said, I will not get further
growths in that area, but now I do have significant dry mouth, and
nothing to do about it but take some pharmaceutical or chew xylitol
gum or both.
I guess if it were me in your place, knowing what I do now, I would
do no mainstream treatment, but would instead do as much alternative
stuff as I could to try to get the node to shrink by itself.
Best wishes,
Elliot
