Is there any chance this is anything other than cancer?
I have had swollen/shotty lymph nodes for years (since childhood), but this doesn't feel like those. It doesn't feel like a lymph node to me. It feels like a tiny pebble or seed or something that fell into a canal there. I would estimate it's about 1 millimeter in diameter.
Would doctors even be able to biopsy something that small?
When I first felt it, I was hoping it was a zit that was deep in the skin or something. But then I confirmed that it was under the skin. I have to slightly press to feel it.
What worries me is actually how small it is, and the different feel it has in comparison to my other palpable lymph nodes when I palpate it.
I have had numerous other symptoms over the last 10 years...you can look in my post history if you want to see most of them. I also started getting night sweats every night a few months ago to where I had to turn the temperature down in my apartment in order to not wake up with my face/head drenched in sweat. I didn't sweat when I kept the room temperature lower, so I don't know if that means the night sweats were not from illness, or it just means that it was cold enough to where it canceled out my body overheating from an illness. I have had night sweats on and off for years, but they would usually only last for a few weeks at most. This time they persist even to this day unless I keep my apartment below a certain temperature.
