Lump in neck below ear - Lymphomas Message Board

Hello,

I hope that maybe some of you can help me out. About a week ago, I notice that right below my ear, behind the bend in the jaw bone, there is a grape sized, painless lump. Ever since I noticed it I've just been freaking out as to what it may be. I plan on going to the doc to have it checked out sometime soon. Also I've read up on cancer symptoms and I don't have any of the night sweats, loss of weight, etc that everyone talks about. Of course also I've heard that you don't have to have these symptoms either. Has anybody experienced this or have any thoughts?

Thanks
-Dan

Wow, you sound like you have the EXACT same lump as me. Same location and we both have no symptoms. Mine grows and shrinks every few days. Does yours ever change size at all?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one.....however mine does not shrink or grow or change size, it has stayed pretty much constant for the past week, but that does not mean that they are not of the same type of condition. Does anybody out there experience this or have thoughts on what this might be for both of us? Please respond....

hello, i to also have a small lump behind my left hear. It varies in sizes day by day, at times its not there at all. And at other days its there. Even the pain is very random. Right now the slightest touch on it hurts alot and at certain days its painless. Can anyone tell us what this lump behind the ear is? Someone had told me it could be a cyst, thx for the info.
