penultimatestraw 473 Posted August 24, 2017 Squishy, mobile and tender are all signs it isn't likely a tumor. Probably an infected lymph node or abscess. Â ETA Just read the post above. MRI is overkill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kilroy69 995 Posted August 24, 2017 He looked in my ear. Felt the nodes on both sides then the ones in my groin area. Said that it's probably an infection. Don't touch it because I could cause it to swell. Wait a week and if it's not smaller or if it's worse they will do blood work and an MRI. I made sure he felt it. Not just ohh yeah I can feel it bs. I had him put his fingers right on the spot which is right on my jawline. Â This is still freaking me out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gladiators 1,904 Posted August 24, 2017 in the meantime I'm thinking horrible things. Thinking there's no way I'm gonna make it long enough for my kid to remember me. Â I've been there. Its impossible not to think/fear the worst. About 9 months ago I had some back issues. A few months prior to the back pain, I had heard from different people that they had friends with lower back pain...went to the doctor...found out they had cancer...were given a few months to a few years to live. Â Then you go to WebMD or some other "medical" website and see the symptoms. Yeah, I've been kinda tired lately. My skin looks a little pale or yellow. My appetite has been a little different. I've gained/lost a little weight. My poop is different. Yep, I've got cancer and am going to die in 3-6 months. Focking great. Sorry wife and kids. Â I was a hypochondriac for about 3 months and it really focked with my mind. That stress is the last thing your body needs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted August 24, 2017 I had something similar in my neck about 10 years ago. Doc gave me anti biotics to see if it would return to normal. Â She also had me test for thyroid cancer because she said a swollen lymph node there can sometimes be associated with thyroid cancer. Â Turned out to be nothing. The antibiotics cleared it up.
