My gut is telling me that this may be cancer in the nodes and to go with the guy at Sloan Kettering because knowing the path of the lymph channel and the techniques of identifying which nodes should come out are probably better at Sloan Kettering that is what my gut is telling me.

If your gut is speaking that loudly to you, listen. You’ll feel much better with your choice to follow through because you’d always feel a level of doubt otherwise.

This past year I had a spot on my leg that troublesome. I had my pcp look at it. He assured me it could not be cancerous and was pretty adamant. My gut told me otherwise and I made an appt with a dermatologist. It was a basal cell carcinoma and rather deep already. This was a month after being told it could not be cancerous because of how it looked.

If you have an unsettled feeling it’s in your best interest to follow through. You’ll feel more at peace that way. And what do you have to lose? If you find out the node is not cancerous that’s a win and then you proceed with the next phase of treatment so that you can recover and get on with the rest of you life! 😊
That’s my ‘sounding board’ opinion. What do you think?
