Scary…i’ve had an enlarged/swollen lymph node in my neck for 13 months now. My primary doctor felt it and said its no big deal. Although i have multiple symptoms of Lymphoma cancer, he refused to do a needle biopsy to test it…going to a ENT Dr this week to hopefully get a biopsy done. Damn Dr’s are quacks, 80% of them cheat their way through school, and I read a study that said over 60% use Wikipedia to diagnose patients… ---

> [@newman](#): > > Good luck. > > I haven’t been to the doctors in 4 years. The last time i went…it was to a pediatrician…i really should, so much shit we’re exposed to on a daily basis, when i think about it i really get paranoid to the point where i want to demand a full body scan for every possible problem…but, the vast majority of the time i just don’t even think about these things or justify making the time. Stupid of me… ---

I was afraid to get mine checked out, but I did, they diagnosed me, treated me, and I’m alive today. Your health is nothing to screw around with. And if your doctor doesn’t listen to your best interests, then time to get a new doctor. I had a lymph node removed from my neck when I was diagnosed. > [@Pauly](#): > > Dude you need to get this checked thats aslmost identical to my sympthoms > > Thanks for all the well wishes/kind thoughts.

Good idea to go to the doctor. I am more aware of things like this after a lady I work with in her 50’s who eats great, works out regularly and is very active started feeling weird one night and went to the doctor and turned out she had a brain animism (sp?) and if she didnt go she may not have made. Hope for the best man. ---

Ok so its for sure a tumor. Yeah me. Nothing like getting this news in mid life. certainly not expected. Prognosis is good, Dr.(& I) is very positive that this will just be a speed bump in my life. next thurs open it up and see what it is since all the scans i’ve had done are inconclusive. ---

Be strong Pauly 🙂 Like I said, do everything you could to keep yourself busy and don’t think about it at all. You have a good support system with your friends and family too. When you are good enough to go back out, we’ll go to Grovers. Got to have a good goal in mind for afterwards, right? ---
