Balance
Anyone have issues with balance problems post treatment? My balance has been "off" since I was treated and doesn't seem to be improving.
Biopsy questions
Hello all! Due to the location of my tumor (an 8cm anterior mediastinul), my doctors elected to do the PET scan first because the tumor was a little hard to reach. The PET scan confirmed that there was in fact hypermetabolic activity in my little "friend". Does this kind of confirm the fact that it's cancer?? Also, now…
Worried About Lymph Node
Hello, I am 26 years old soon to be 27.
