Regional Recurrence?

I was diagnosed with grade 3 stage 3 HER2+ BC last year and I am still receiving hercepting… From the start the outlook was bleak but the fact that I was having chemo rads and herceptin/± Pertuzumab I felt a bit more reassured.

 

I recently noticed a lump in my neck and after it has been there for over 9 weeks now I had an FNA does last week, I;ve not had results as yet, everytime I call they say it just says partial at this stage.

 

I am now worrying a bit… what it is recurrence…?  I know they cant operate on the nodes in my neck. I really wish they would hurry up with them!!!
