Oncology Update--the shocking version

In May I was having pain in my leg/groin on the left side, the cancer I had in 2012 was on the right.

I decided it must have been a pulled muscle.  I went to my family physician for a regular yearly physical.  She checked it and said it was all ok.

I had my regular 3 month oncology appointment and the Dr said, he would order an ultrasound to put me at ease.

I went for the ultrasound and the tech wouldn't let me look.  How rude...right?

When we were heading over to Surrey/Langley yesterday I got a call from the oncologist to call me in to go over the results.  He said he would only call me in if there was something of concern.  Now, I am concerned.

Today, he told me that the ultrasound picked up an enlarged lymph node.  Great.  No pulled muscle.  So, I am heading out for an urgent CT and a referral to a surgeon to get the offending lymph node out.

So, I had a small teary-party when they took blood today, but now, I am not going to panic until it's time to panic.  And it's not time to panic or worry yet.
