    OK, likely nothing but..went to see my PCP today as I've felt a small lump under my jaw, close to neck for about 3-4 weeks.  No pain, no real growth/increase in size, just there.  PCP says next step is a CT so attempting to arrange this thru Onc's office rather than PCP.  Leaving PCP he notes that it could be return of Mel….dah..no kidding.  Of course it could be anything but Mel and I need to focus on that until cold, hard facts are in.  Just a bit frazzled to think of having a CT..

    Trying to hang in there….

        Sorry to read this.  Keep us posted.  It's amazing how those "old feelings" return so quickly.  One day at a time.

      This could be many things.  Even if it is a lymph node, it could be swollen fo a number of reasons.  Take deep breaths, hang in there, and keep us posted.
