laban Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hello All, Bill has a lump on his neck. It's not where a lymph node might be, it's on the side of his neck below his ear, sort of. It's palpable and I have no idea what to think of it. Tomorrow we see the Onc so hopefully he'll have some insight. In all I've read, I don't see what that might have to do with sclc, but who knows. Any little new thing automatically worries me. Just thought I'd see if anyone else with sclc developed a lump. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calintay Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I actually get cysts behind my ear that are either directly behind it or down some and they are hard when touched, no head on them and they can be tender not always but I usually just use a warm cloth and do that about 10 minutes about 3 times a day and it shrinks then goes away. My moms would get so bad that they would need to be drained so hopefully that is all it is. Prayers for good news tomorrow Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trish2418 Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Like Heidi, I tend to get cysts around the ear area. Hope Bill's problem is nothing more serious than that. Trish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ztweb Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I am glad you are going to have this checked out. I don't think anyone can be too careful with SCLC. I know my dad had this too, and it went away on its own. He has never had any mets...thank God! JEn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 Thanks for your responses and good wishes. Went to the Onc today. He felt the lump and said "lymph node", CT Neck. Bill also will be getting a CT chest, abdomen and pelvis this week. No chemo this week so hopefully time to recover from low blood counts. So it's another wait and see week. I have a feeling but I am going to stay positive. I hate SCLC. Laurie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calintay Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Oh my gosh! I am hoping the CT reveals absolutely nothing and that everything will turn out for the best. You guys are in my prayers and please keep us updated! Heidi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teriw Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 Hi Laurie, I'm sorry you guys are going through this. Wishing my best that it's a swollen lymph node and nothing more than that. I hate sclc too. Hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nova Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 "Me three", on hating this nasty disease. I'm hoping it's just a swollen node--maybe a little infection that antibiotics will clear right up. Take care of yourself, Nova Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hockeyma Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Ger got swollen lymph nodes a couple of times - I mean the cancer was already in his lymph but sometimes lumps would appear more prominently and the chemo would bring them back down again. Sometimes his whole neck would swell up and then we knew it was time for chemo. You are right - I hate nsclc, sclc and lcnec....they all are mean brutal beasts.

Flowergirlie Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi Laurie, My hubby did get lumps on his neck as well as down his side and in his shoulder area too. They would just show up randomly and would stay for indefinite periods of time. The oncologist did not test them specifically. This happened semi frequently actually and always was a concern to us as well. Sending you thoughts of hope and peace during this time.
