Lymph Node Size Update

Just wanted to post a quick update on the size of the lymph nodes in my neck.  Earlier I had posted that it seemed like they decreased in size.  Now I think they are about the same as they originally were or are larger.

It's very difficult to gauge since a large, wider area of skin around the area is also swollen and the lymph nodes are right on or around a large neck muscle and jugular vein.  They seem to vary the prominence of the lymph nodes underneath.

Most of this is moot since I go into surgery on Monday to have the tumor and lymph nodes removed.  At that time I'll get some more solid information on the scale and stage that I'm in.
