Hello All!
It has been a while since I posted. But I do have a small victory to announce.
From December to March I had some serious sinus issues. There were some swollen glands. There was a small, hard lump behind my right ear. I have to dig down into the skin to feel it. Two different doctors told me not to worry about it. Well, of course I poked and prodded a few weeks more. I did not touch that bump for 2 months! WOOHOO!
UNTIL TODAY......it is still there, has not changed size or shape. I am concerned it is a tumor. I am really trying to put the constant worry aside and chuck this up to the fact that we have lumps and bumps all over. I am a "run to the doctor immediately" kind of gal. I am trying to be more rational about my health anxiety and realize this is a fear. I would appreciate words of encouragement or advice.
Thanks!
