I think I'm going crazy.

I know this is easier said
I know this is easier said than done, but don't panic yet. My brother had a few pea sized lumps in his neck after surgery for thyroid cancer. We were all panicked. It turned out that the lumps were absorbable sutures that, instead of dissolving, had been encapsulated by his immune system. Try not to jump the gun. You will be in my prayers. Please let us know what you find out.0 -

Thank you for helping me keep in my skin last night! My dh is wonderful, but he doesn't get the panic - or doesn't know how to help with it. Anyway, saw my onc. this morning. After an exam and an ultra-sound, my mystery lump is an "involved lymph node" that is reacting to the radiation. Nothing to worry about. Will repeat the ultra-sound in June to double-check. I wonder when I will start to trust my body again. Thanks again!0 -

Happy to hear it was a lymph node reacting to radiation rather than the scarey thing we all fear. A few months ago, at about the same time after treatment as you, I found a lump in my arm (upper arm). I went to my primary care doc who initially was very worried because the reason for an appointment said "lump under arm". And it was, but it wasn't THAT under arm. Anyway, one of the things she said was "it's too soon, anyway". I have no idea what that meant - because she did order an ultrasound just in case. My lump is a lipoma, but the report does say "other possibilities cannot be excluded".
Rest assured, you're not crazy. We will all worry about any lump we find - anywhere.

It is not a matter of trusting your body for the rest of your life. It is a matter of being acutely aware of your body for the rest of your life. If something is not right or you are not sure, do not hesitate and always get it checked out. It will be your peace of mind, worth its weight in gold. Also glad to hear that it will be double checked in a short time....June.
Lots of Hugs,

it was good news. Always better to be safe than sorry! I guess we'll all be jumpy forever.
Sending hugs and prayers that you can relax for a while now.
Love your picture by the way!0 -

Once we've been through bc, finding a lump is definitely going to cause panic.
