Hey All,

Well I went to the oncologist today. He felt the nodes on the lower part of the right side of my neck and he also found another one on the top part of my neck....I didn't even know I had this one, GREAT!!!! LOL... He found no other nodes anywhere else, that's a good thing right? Well anyways he said the nodes do not "feel" like cancer. They are soft and pretty small(like the size of a pea). He took some blood Sed rate, CBC, and a couple others...not to sure what they were called. He also said it's good because they haven't grown at all. He wants to see me back in a month. So in a way I am happy because he said they don't "feel" like cancer(lymphoma) but there is still a possibility. AHHHHHHH....I just want to get this over with! HOw is everyone else going? :wave:

I have a nodule on the left side of my throat, and it is about 3cm x 3cm. It is not tender or painful.

I don't feel like it is a lymph node (no pain etc)

it doesn't move much when pressed, and it feels rather hard to the touch.

I am scared to death!! Please give me any advice or help!

My Dr thinks it must a swollen lymph gland, but I am afraid it's cancer...I return in a week to see it's progress...

I have no insurance, and the closest city is 2 hours away. My partner and I just moved here to paradise along the northern coast of California, finally living our dream of owning a Bed & Breakfast...Now I'm afraid it's over.

Any ideas???? Please.

Today I've noticed that my voice is changing, more of a strained, deep voice....tired sounding...Also my vision seems worse..?

Also, I am having involuntary facial twitches, not horrible, but they seem to be getting progressively worse, first my upper lip, then cheek and now tonight forehead...I've noticed I am tired a lot, and have less appetite.

I also have a sore in my nose that's new. Could just be a pimple or something..? Am I driving myself nuts, or what?! :confused:

The mass in my neck is painless and hasnt grown in the week or so since I've first noticed it. Its aout 3 x 3 cm

Any thoughts???
