Cervical cancer stage 3C2

Hi everyone

i was diagnosed with stage 3C2 cervical cancer with lymph node involvement (pelvic and Para-aortic lymph nodes) back in Dec 22

i had chemorads and brachytherapy over a 7 week period as they couldn’t do the hysterectomy as i was at the latter stages

i have had clear MRI’s and physical checks every three months and have been told i am now in remission NED, but a few weeks ago my left clavical lymph node became enlarged and i had lots of swelling around that area too. 
i was given CT scan that came back clear, so then had a needle biopsy - i am still awaiting the results and they have now ordered a PET scan.

Has anyone else been in this situation? I wasn’t panicking until they ordered the PET scan

any information would be useful

Thanks
