Hi Anne Marie,

If it's any help, I too felt a lump under my chin about 8 weeks ago. I must admit that I was deeply, deeply moved at the time, quite unexpectedly so (I thought this entire experience had hardened me to such a possible eventuality, but it just isn't so).

Anyway, I had a routine visit with my RO that very day, and he thought it was just the remnant of a saliva gland. I was told to watch it for any growth, then see him in a month (or earlier if there was any change).

Well, it didn't change, so I'm off the hook (at least for now).

So, I share your feeling of being emotionally drained at such a discovery. Hopefully you can steel yourself until you get it checked out.

Best wishes,

Chris
