Dr. A called just a bit ago and said that he had a chance to look over the scan and the lymph node is larger than before by about a centimeter, which means it has doubled in size since 3 months ago. There really isn't an option now but to operate and remove the node and have it biopsied. He did have a chest surgeon look at the scan as well and has a call into my oncologist, and is having another oncologist look at it as well. He said I should hear from the chest surgeon in the next two days to come in and see him and probably get the surgery scheduled.
I really am just numb right now to be honest, nothing really surprises me anymore with my health.
To stay positive Dr. did say that "IF" this is cancer, people who have had metastasis in one area like this have done really well and we might just be able to take it out and not even do treatment. Remember, we don't know if this is my cancer returning, we still have to biopsy it yet. I am realistic and know it's a distinct possibility, but we still don't know everything.
I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and will keep you up to date as I know things.

I am sorry you have to deal with this. I will keep you in my thoughts and hope that everything goes well.
I am so sorry. I will be thinking about you and praying for you.
You are so brave, hang in there and I'm here if you need to chat.
Sweetie, I am so sorry you have to have the surgery. But I'm going to stay positive that this is going to come back benign and you won't have to worry about treatment. We can recover from surgery together (you in your new house!) and get pregnant together, okay?! It's a plan. ((BIG HUGS)) Email me if you want to chat at all.
P.S. I think the job will want you bad enought that they'll be willing to take you o matter what. Also, by law you really don't have to tell them anything.
I am so sorry you are going through all of this. You will be kept in my thoughts and prayers!
