Results
I went to see my oncologist yesterday to get the results of my PET/CT scan and all was well. There is one little lymph node in my upper neck that shows a little inflammation. The only reason it is of concern for me is because I have had breast cancer.
The doc said at any given time any of us might have a lymph node that could be inflamed and would show up that way in a scan. For example, I had strep throat in September and a I also have a wisdom tooth that needs to be pulled (don't ask) and either of these things could be the cause of the inflammation.
So in 6 weeks I go back to the doc for her to take another poke at my neck and the in about 3 or 4 months I will have a CT scan to see if the inflammation has gotten any larger.
I am a little concerned but feel very confident in my team of doctors and their decisions. I am trying to put it out of my mind and wait and see.

OK... it's probably pregnancy hormones that make me hysterical so quickly, but please go immediately and get your tooth fixed.... maybe take some antibiotics.... I don't know what I'm talking about, but I want you to be well and I'm sure the swelling is from the tooth.
Being a dentists daughter an all I am sure you are right. I will get my tooth pulled in January when our FSA account is replenished, I promise.
Well, being a dentist's daughter who waited until she was in her mid 20's to get her wisdom teeth pulled, after being told to do it when I was 17....and one was infected so my was so swollen I looked like Violet from Willy Wonka. I love you and if it's the tooth then you'll get it fixed and know for sure that it was the silly tooth.
