I noticed a hard fixed node on the bone bit behind my ear. Went doctors yesterday who is doing blood tests. I have felt it today and sure it has got bigger!! I am really scared now.
I also have generalised itching mainly worse around my scalp.
The node is rock hard and does not move or hurt!
Key characteristics of a cancerous node. I am scared it could be lymphoma. Why has it got bigger since yesterday? It is not my mind playing tricks it is bigger.
This with the itchiness and the fact I had a temperature at the doctors is really scaring me! Doctor said I should go back if it grows but feel silly going back a day later! Don't think I would get an appointment anyway.
Had anyone had similar? Also the peak age for lymphoma is 15-29 I am 28 so another thing that makes me scared. Doctor also wouldn't rule out lymphoma! So he must have been concerned about the feel of the node otherwise would have said it doesn't feel like a typical cancerous node.

I have also looked in the mirror and you can see the node as a visible hard lump around 2cm big
