Unfortunately my cancer has been extremely aggressive on my lymph nodes. I am beginning to have discomfort from several lymphnodes in my neck that have tumors (4cm).  Has anybody had them removed?  I see my onc next week when I check in after being on cabo a week. I know new issues can be be caused by thier removal, especially neck ones, with fluid build up.

    I feel for you

    I know things are rough but tell your onc without trying to predict outcomes, problems, side effects of treatment etc.

    Easier said than done I know but I think youre just driving yourself crazy.

    How long?

    How long have you had these, Matt?  When you started Cabo, were they this size?  Just curious what the doctor said on your last visit about the lymphnodes.  In any event, some answers will be coming next week when you visit your onc.  Wishing you well and praying for continued strength.
