Comparing which scan for swelling above clavicle and near throat - supraclavicular lymph nodes?
I chose this forum as I thought you would be persons most informative that might be able to help me decide. Thank you.
Healthy wellness check/physical — except I showed doctor which she confirmed and is concerned about — slight swelling which has been sort of lengthwise above/atop of my left clavicle, also seems near throat area where clavicle ends there. Been there awhile — no pain — probably several months.
Questions about my mom's PET CT
My mom had her PET CT done after an xray and two CT's had seen a suspicious nodule which then became two nodules (only one suspicious). Here are the findings. We see the oncologist on the 1st but my fear is this had spread to hear brain and I dint know if they checked or not. She's been complaining of severe headaches for months now and the eye doctor said it's not because if her glaucoma. Can you please help me make sense if this report before we go in so I'm prepared and can be of better support for my mom and know what questions to ask. I've included the whole report.

Hi.
Hi. Hope you're all doing ok. IDK where to post this, so apologies if posted in wrong section. (im a male.) So, in February, I started getting headaches. Like, severe. They've calmed down somewhat now, my DR said it's migraine, etc. But, on March the 3rd, I woke up with red spider veins, a red rash. I'm trying to get a DR'S appointment, however sometimes they don't have available appointments. What I'm most concerned about now, is lung cancer {SCLC/Pancoast} . I'm 26, 27 in 4 days but, i smoked from 11, quit in 2017, started again in 2021. I smoked around 10-15 cigarettes a day.

Self Advocacy-Talk to Your Doctors and Others Who've Been There
This article, The Side Effect Roulette of Cancer Treatment discusses the benefits of frank talk with your care team about side effects. Many people don't realize their oncology team can mitigate many side effects and symptoms.
