Node recurrence

[amsy]

Hi all

I’m 3 years post-op and have now got likely recurrence in a right supraclavicular node - anyone know if this is treatable at all? Or is treatment likely to be palliative?

Thanks again to everyone

Without wishing to offer any kind of false hope, if it has not yet been biopsied, hang on in there: I presented this two years after my Ivor Lewis but biopsy showed that the enlargement was in fact a byproduct of the trauma of the procedure and having had so many lymph nodes removed from my trunk. It doesn't help the anxiety: that's a given. But we have to stay positive.

That gives me some hope - thank you! Biopsy done and now awaiting results....

Sending every positive wish.

I have no experience with this but wanted to wish you luck and send positive thoughts your way, I can imagine how it must feel. May I ask how it was discovered?

[amsy in reply to Mrs1972]

Thank you so much. It was discovered on a CT scan I had done recently for other abdo issues!

I have just been diagnosed with secondaries to my supraclavicular node. I’m almost 3 years post op and thought I beaten it but it seems not. I’m waiting on my oncologist to tell me my options. I so hope that your biopsy is clear I’m wishing you all the best.

Thank you so much for your reply - I still don’t have the biopsy result, but I think they are fairly sure anyway from the CT images! I wish you the very best of luck with your own treatment.

Thanks Eileen! Biopsy results came back showing it’s definitely recurrence, so we’ll see what the step is....

Oh I'm so sorry. Hopefully they can keep it at bay x

Hello Amsy

I can’t say I’ve the same experience as you, however only just 2 months after the op.

Wishing you all the best for the future and I hope it all goes well.

Good luck
