[quote=David2]Sean, sorry to read of your troubles. Eric's advice is excellent. I can speak only from my own experience with cancerous lymph nodes: there was no pain, just the swelling. I'll leave it to more experienced hands here to have a go at your other questions.

Keep us posted. And remember, cancer is only one of a jillion things that can go wrong with our bodies!

I would not say lumps on my jaw are painfull. However it was a very unique sensation that made me palpate that area.
