Okay so it's almost been 4 years (literally 13 days short) of my final day of rads.

So far Everything has been good.

Then last night I found a swollen node!!!! gosh darn it!

right behind my ear...

Not my lower ear - its actually one of two that reside there but only one is swollen- it's my posterior auricular node...

It's only been there maybe a day or two. But still - it's a throw back to the fear from before.

ARRRRRGH!

I know it's just a node - I know they are persnickety little shits. I know it's likely (hopefully) and infection or inflammation... I have wonky sinuses so it could be that.

I recently had a dental check up and cleaning - and there's always the possibility I got a minor infection from her digging around in there. or even the aerial yoga I've been doing is very hard on my neck (one of the things that causes a swollen node is neck injury)

Anyway, I've got a call into my family dr. There's always the possibility that I have an infection so I will have him check me. But I am still waiting to hear back from my specialists secretary as well. She has today to call back otherwise I will call her again.

Anyone else experience a funky node in this location?

Thanks all. It's all about the rational head and irrational head... right?
