Tuesday Dec. 9, 2008 -- After two weeks of amoxicillin, the size of the node hadn’t changed so Dr. Saveh made a same day appointment with Dr. Elizabeth Huang, an Ear, Nose and Throat Surgeon (ENT). The same day appointment was worrisome. Dr. Huang took a look throughout my mouth, nose and down my throat with a mirror. She then applied a topical anesthetic to the skin over the lymph node and took 3 fine needle aspiration (FNA) samples, a third because the 2nd just contained blood instead of lymph node cells. The samples were to be sent to pathology and the results were to be available on Friday.
