Lymph Node question

**draiman** · May 16th, 2018 12:24 PM

Mga sirs,

Just want to ask for any help and/or recommendations if you or a loved one has undergone surgery specifically around the neck area.

My sis is planning to go under the knife, pero wala kaming gaanong kilalang mahusay na doctor and we don't know how to go about this. Hirap maghanap ng pagtatanungan. We have a short list of the ones we found googling, but that's about it.

Thanks for all the advise and replies. You can just pm me if you prefer.

cheers

are you sure tatanggalin ang lymph node? or it a cyst?

Second, third, fourth or fifth opinions. Visit as many doctors specializing whatever medical issues your sister has.

If there is a mass, a biopsy should be done first to diagnose the cause. Then the rest will follow depending on the result.

without googling

pagkaintindi ko sa diagnosis is "ano ang sakit niya?"

ang pagkaintindi ko naman sa prognosis is "so ito ang sakit niya... what are chances of full recovery? is it serious? is it terminal? how long left to live?"

ask your internist for recommendations, po.
these doctors usually have loose partnerships with other specialists.
