I completely understand how scary to have this diagnosis going though it myself.
I did 6 rounds of chemo (cisplantin) every Monday and radiation for 6 weeks daily. They did what they called a booster or accelerator radiation the last few. I saw my oncologist every Monday as a check in and they were fantastic to see what I needed for pain relief and such from the radiation and chemo.
I did have weird symptoms that I thought was my sciatic nerve but was running down the front of my leg instead of the back of my leg. just odd but not really uncomfortable. I had an appt with my neurologist already set up as I have transverse mellitus and they have been checking me for MS. She scheduled MRI's but thought I might be wise to also do a urine test incase of a UTI. this showed blood. Next was a bladder scan and a CTA. the CTA scan is what showed the lymph nodes. I am so grateful for this neurologist to thinking about the UTI.
This is my 3rd bout with cancer 2 different breast cancers(had mastectomy) and now a 3rd different in lymph node. I have always been very active and I now continue to be. This didn't happen right away and has taken a few months but I must say I feel great. I am back to exercising, taking classes, and enjoying going out with friends. thanksful for my wonderful doctors and enjoying my life.
Im here for you if you have questions I can help with or for any support.
