I felt a lump in the back, right side of my neck. Went to the doctor a week later, he felt it, said it was a lymph node. He told me it was very small, soft and movable, whereas cancerous one are hard and fixed. He said if it is still there in a month he can biopsy it for me. He knows I suffer from anxiety as well. I am so afraid it is not going to go away, it is going to be lymphoma, and so on and so on. I am a 35 year old wife/mom of two. I've stopped poking at it and googling about it, which has helped my anxiety a lot. My Dr. said to check it once a week, and I am sticking to that, howver now I am anxious to check it, afraid I will swirl down the panic attack hole again. Help!
