My CT scan shows that I have a tumor in the Partoid and also indicates "non-specific midly enlarged lymph notes bilaterally, right greater than left" - does anyone know what this means?

Hi Bezansoc,

Enlarged lymph nodes can mean infection but when there's a tumor with it-it doesn't sound good. You need to find out whether it benign or not and go from there. When will you be getting the definite answer? If you need anything please email.

I'll say a prayer.

Keep Smilin'....

My partner completed surgery/radiation and chemo for partoid cancer this past Feb. Usually a needle biopsy is done to determine malignancy. If your tumor is malignant, make sure you have an oncologist as part of your medical team. My partner's first surgery was done by an ENT who did inadequate surgery.

Good luck to you! If you need additional info, drop me an email.
