OK the web is a very dangerous thing ..... I posted a few days ago about a small lump I found above my collarbone.
As I am sitting here BORED I started goggling this and I am making myself so sick to my stomach. I am driving myself crazy. I came across a website that said ALL lump near the collarbone are more than likely cancer.

So here I sit I called my Dr. and I have an appointment Monday morning ...Whewww!!
I am sure he will wanna do some blood work and whatever else to determine what's going on. This lump has NOT gotten any bigger that's the only plus I can see at this time ....

Sure, it could be cancer... But it could also just be a viral or bacterial infection. Try not to worry until you have an actual reason to. I know it's scary. Just try to do other things and keep your mind off of it for now, until your appointment. And stop looking at those scary websites! :-)

I'm paranoid about the same thing. I even went to the doctor and got so far as to get an appointment with an ENT to have a scope put down my throat. 3 months later I still haven't seen him because I'm just too paranoind. My hip is so sore than I can't bend over to touch my toe and the right side of my neck feels terrible. I get clicking in my throat when I swallow. I also developed some kind of fluid filled cyst on the painful side of my hip (I think it might be sebacous cyst since it's filled with fluid and I can move it around and stuff)

Oh I also sleep sometimes for 14 hours. I have more reasons than not to be paranoid I might be dying but I'm too paranoind to get the specific tests I need to determine whether or not whatever is wrong with me is serious, if that makes any sense.
