in the side of my neck, but only on one side. I noticed it by mistake two weeks ago and I'm sure it's bigger now. It feels about the size of a pea when I'm sitting up straight, but sometimes when I'm laying down it feels huge. :weep: It's not squidgy but not hard like a rock either, and it wobbles about slightly when I touch it. My other nodes are not swollen at all, infact I don't even have any others I can feel.
My mum says I shouldn't go to the doctor because I'd waste their time, but I'm really scared about having lymphoma and not noticing, because a girl I was penpals with died from it, although that type is very curable, because it was left for a very long time before she had treatment.
I also occasionally have pains in my front but I'm 90% sure those are just from sitting bent forward at my computer.
I know you're not supposed to ask for medical advice on here, but is this likely to be anything dangerous? I don't have any other symptoms apart from slightly tired, and I do stay up late so it's probably that. Also if I had lymphoma would leaving it 2-4 weeks make a big difference to whether it would be curable?
