Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Lymph Node Near Kidney While Having Ovarian Cancer

Posted on Fri, 22 Jan 2016

Question: A little history, I have been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and have been receiving chemotherapy. My doctor told me that a lymph node near my kidney is swollen. I am now experiencing extreme pain that has gotten worse over the last three weeks to the point that I am taking my Oxycontin and Oxycodone to try and get relief with no avail. My abdomen is swollen and hurts to the touch. I have an appointment with a Urologist on the 12th but i was wandering if there is anything i can do for relief or if waiting until my appointment is a bad idea and i should seek immediate help.
