lump.

yesterday, i woke up, and there was a lump on my neck. i wasn't sure how long it had been there. or why it decided to show up... i know that i haven't been sleeping in the most desirable positions. at least not positions that would be helpful for the comfort of my neck... i wake up in the middle of the night with awful kinks. but i didn't think anything of it. i slept on a couch over the weekend. but. would that make a bubble? i showed my parent's. my mom think's it might be a swollen tendon or gland or something. but it's circular. which lead's me to believe it is not. (it's also only on one side...) my dad said it might be a cyst. he had one a few years ago on his finger. it got really large, and they had to cut it out. i remember. he still has a scar. my brother said it's cancer. and i know he's kidding. but i'm really freaking out. what if it doesn't go away. what if i need to get it removed. what if it really is cancer. what if it spreads. currently. it's the size of a dime. i can wiggle it around. and it's uncomfortable when someone puts pressure on it. it doesn't "hurt" at least not very badly. but it's not exactly the most pleasant feeling either. sigh. should i go to the doctor? (if i go to the doctors office, i might as well get my feet checked out as well)

First consult Dr. google. "Lump in neck"

.. if anything sounds alarming, then real doc time.

or if nothing sounds like your results, real doc time.
