    Hi Y'all,

    I had my first Ipi a week ago. Tonight I found a new node, on the opposite side of my neck.  My "bad" side has the string of nodes, which seem to be swelling slightly but are not painful.

    I've not had any swollen nodes or issues on this side, and just had an MRI of my neck 2 weeks ago. It came back "ok" for this side.

    Has anyone else done Ipi, then had swelling in nodes that were previously clear? I'm trying hard not to panic and am praying that it means the Ipi is working on a potential future problem area.

    Thanks,
