Angelia,
I had a scope last week and that was all clear but because of this new lump (under my jaw) and the head pain I have now been sent for an MRI on Friday, your ENT may do the same. Good luck on Friday - I hope it's all clear. I'm glad your neuralgia is is improving - I wouldn't wish the 'stabbing' bursts of pain that I get on anyone it is excruciating when it happens - thankfully the worst of it doesn't last long!

Charm,

I had a Selective neck dissection with 39 nodes removed, in May of last year. I'm hoping that this new lump is a lymph node that has been left behind and that this time the 'thing' will be encapsulated and easily removed. Of course I shouldn't forget that old mantra - that it isn't cancer until pathology confirms it!
