If I believe the cat scan and fine needle biopsy it was indeed a benign lump. I have also had other benign lumps pop up in my neck and mouth. Perhaps that is why my file at Cancercare now has Volume I and Volume II. !!!
I'm glad you are acting on it. I never understood "watchful waiting". You have to trust their judgement - they have seen it all before - but isn't it kinda like standing on the train tracks and employing "watchful waiting" for the next train?
Hang in there - we're here with you.
