Hi,

I would want to get that node removed and the pathology report back ASAP.

I had a needle biopsy of my node,  and it came back positive. I was strongly advised, positive or negative to have the whole node removed and examined by the pathologist. The advantage of the needle biopsy was that the surgeon proceded to remove all the nodes when she did the surgery.

If your node is positive and you opt to go on a drug trial, you may need specific scans for the trial.

Hi Lisa,

     I am 3 months past lymph node resection of my right armpit. At first I had a firm round mass (about 1/2 inch.in size.  Now  I have a long firm mass which is non-tender (about 2 inches long). The surgeon, oncologist and dermatologist assure me that it is just scarring down of some muscle tissue that was cut.  My scans do not show that it is cancer.

Hi Everyone,

I started the DERMA trial in Feb of this year. Unfortunately have developed bone mets in my right knee so will be out of the trial. I see the radiation oncologist to get some pain control tomorrow. Ibelieve that I was on the placebo arm as I had no local reaction to the injections.

     So am now a new Stage 4! Hope to get on Ipi after all scans have been done.

Good luck to the rest of you. I will be watching how you all get on.

Hi

Four days after the IJ , I felt really lethargic.  Couldn't keep my eyes open. Had a nap and then went to bed early. Better the next day and now fell only slightly tired all the time.

How is everyone lese doing on this trial????
