continuation from here. 

After more than 3 months, the lump can still be felt on Sherilyn’s right neck. Though it had shrunk in size considerably but the fact that it’s still there made me uneasy. So upon the recommendation of our paed, we brought Sherilyn to Pantai Cheras Medical Centre to have an ultrasound scan of her neck. The radiologist explained that the lump was only an enlarged lymph node and said that it’s very common in kids, especially after an infection or flu. It’s not a lump or a cyst. So that gave me some relief but I still have to monitor the size of the lymph node.

Sherilyn was so tensed as she lay on the bed in the cold air-cond room.

When the radiologist put the cold gel on her neck, she cried and struggled, so daddy had to hug her and carry her throughout the scan.

For many months ever since the day I discovered the swollen lymph nodes on Sherilyn’s neck, the first thing that I did when Sherilyn woke up was to touch her neck to see if the lymph nodes had shrunk in size.   I read that in some people, those lymph nodes would take many months to subside.  It’s been more than a year now and those lymph nodes are no longer felt on Sherilyn’s neck. Phew, thank God!
