LEUKEMIA & LYMPHOMA COMMUNITY
is it still to early or to late??

is it still to early or to late??

back in mid june, maybe even late may, not sure... i felt lumps in my neck, kind of under the jaw, but were moveable and ive read and been told movebale lumps are nothing to worry about. i could pretty much roll them between my fingers. then i felt something that kind of felt like a lump that felt different then the moveable lumps. so i was worried at first and then put it out of my mind. now obviously its september so a few months have gone by and this "lump" hasnt grown or anything like that. and no other lymphoma symtoms (symptoms) have occured. so is this a sign that is couldnt be anything?? i've read that cancerous lymph nodes keep growing. im not sure how long this has been there but since finding it, it hasnt grown. good or bad sign?? and is it a good or bad sign that not one symptom has occured?

Typically, the lumps tend to get larger over time.  However, there are different kinds of lymphoma...some are very slow growing so  you may not notice much change in just a few months.  You really should have the lumps looked at by a doctor.  If he sends you home with a "this is nothing to worry about" answer, ask him or her what you should do if these lumps don't go away soon or you notice them growing.
