Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful replies. Brenda - I read your most recent post - so sorry you are having to go through this biopsy and tell that d#%%* doctor to give you some drugs!

I am feeling a little better as I went to see my ENT here today and she didn't freak out when she felt my neck. (she's really great - very honest with me and although she is not associated with a CCC, I feel really comfortable with her following me at home) I do have an enlarged lymph node but she says it could be just another one like I've had before - I've had a couple that enlarged but were fine... Of course she said I am doing the right thing by getting this checked more when I go to MDA in a week. She said some of what I am feeling is just because I am thin and have no fat in my neck, esp. on that side.

So I will try not to worry so much and just wait for the results of the tests they are doing at MDA on the 22 and 23....

P.S My husband brought me a dozen roses home tonight - I think he was just as relieved as I was that she didn't find anything drastic...
