Hi Suzy. I know it's hard not to hit the panic button but it could just be an enlarged lymph node, nothing more, nothing less. John will be 3 years out of treatments April 15th and his WBC is still below normal. He has found a couple of bumps and lumps over the past couple of years but after a week they went away. Try not to drive yourself crazy waiting to see the doctor. Hugs.
