gland up behind ear - 04-23-2011 11:48 PM
i was diagnosed with low grade mucoerperdermoid carcinoma in novemeber, after which i had an mri scan to see how big the tumor was, anyway the scan was fine it did not spread, but they said i had a slightly enlarged gland, so i got booked in for an ultra sound, i had that and they said all is fine, after this i had my first op, and went on to have another in february and after this op i was told all margins were clear and eveything was fine just regular check ups now anyway the gland behind my ear comes up now and again only slightly,its up at the moment, sometimes i get not exactly pains just slight discomfort but barely at all, but i am really worried about it, also i am meant to have monthly check ups but missed my one the other day because i have moved house and in the process of switching hospitals, so cant really go at the moment, also i have a small tiny little bump which just feels like skin on the opposite side to where i had the cancer in my mouth, i think i lay on my cheek in the night and caught it, but i am really worried about that too it just does feel like skin but obviously i am terrified, ikno people on here are not doctors but i just wondered if anyone knows if its normal thanks i am 17 by the way if that makes a difference at all
