- Re: Symptoms of lymph nodes metastasis?

June 2, 2003

Hi, ,

I don't think it's paranoia; after the diagnosis of any serious disease, I

think most people are alarmed by every subsequent bump, lump and unusual event.

It's perfectly normal, and it tends to abate

with time.

You should absolutely be having a whole body scan after your ablation. It must

be ordered by the doctor, so you may want to double check, but I'd be surprised

if it's not considered SOP.
