I can feel all of my deep cervical lymph nodes. One is rock solid right between my ear and jaw. I am seeing an surgeon on wednesday.
I feel like this really is oral cancer, but yes a biopsy should be done to find out. I don't have insurance, so I hope they will work with me to make payments. I wish I could tell you more. I have cried a lot today. I tried to call the oral surgeon to get in earlier and he only does clinic that day.
Does this cancer spread quickly? I am up in arms as I can kind of remember when I started feeling like crap. I thought it was hormones.
I realise that telling myself stories about what I should have done or could have done will do no good. I know that I am really upset at the ENT who felt the node and said "you just have a really skinny neck, and that is your carotid artery." No, it's not my carotid artery, then he felt the other node and said that again, you can feel it because you are so skinny. I don't know why he is still practicing medicine.
