      My tumor is in my clavicle lymph nodes.  I have just finished a 2 year trial of nivolumab followed by 4 courses of ipi.  At one point in the trial I was considered "complete response" due to tumor shrinkage.  Then the tumor grew bigger.  My last scan showed about the same size but necrosis in the center of the tumor.  My tumor is very easy to feel and see as it is just above my collar bone.  In the past couple of days it feels like it has swollen up a bit and is sensitive.  My shoulder and scalen muscles in my neck are also extremely tight and tend to push the tumor up when they get tight.  Wondering if anyone out there can actually feel their tumor and ever has these kinds of sensations.  I hope this thing isn't try to battle back again!!
