Wondering if anyone has experienced swollen hard nodes in the neck- I have just started on Abraxane for my TNB- was hoping that it would help them shrink. Very painful and have made an appointment with the lymph edema Clinic for next week- using warm compress and massage - looking for any suggestions or past experiences with this condition-

Greetings: Sister/warrior 10 years ago I had enlarged neck lymph nodes on the same side I had my TNB diagnosis. After 5 needle biopsies, it was determined to be an infection, and not a return of my TNB. I was given a second dose of a stronger antibiotic, and the enlargement was gone. Happy 2020 New Year, and I pray your New Year will be healthy, and happy. I know it is easier said than done, but don't worry about it pray about it. XoXo

Thank you- I will discuss with my MD - he seems to think it’s cancer in them but I think it’s worth a discussion- yes prayer is the key!!
