Hi, Everyone.
I saw my doc yesterday and he felt the mass and the first thing he said was "You're going to be fine.". He said that the node is very small and doesn't meet the criteria for malignancy; that you wouldn't even be able to stick a needle in it. He said that my skin is so fair and thin, it's easy to palplate structures beneath it. However, he said that any changes need to be investigated. He ordered a CT with contrast yesterday, which I was scheduled to have next month, anyway. I'm still waiting for the results, but I feel much better after seeing him yesterday.

Thank you all for your support so far. I will keep you posted on the results of my CT.

Have a good weekend.
Kerri
