I have a doctors appointement Tuesday but how worried should I be? What could this be? I want to be prepared for what my doc might tell me...

I had something like that when I was a child. It ended up being that one of my ear piercings had gotten infected and instead of going just to the ear it traveled down my neck. I wouldn't worry too much.

It could be many things a harmless cyst or something more sinister. There is no sense in telling you not to worry because until you see the Doctor your mind will run rapid. My best suggest is be prepared for anything. Myself, I always think the worse and always end up with the best news. Good luck to you.

of course you should be concerened it's only normal. it's definitely a growth, now is it malignant or benign is the question. be prepared that besides blood tests chances are they will cut a sample.
do you think it might be just a gland? if it's a glandular problem then we are in a whole new ballpark.
i think you should stress to the dr. that it's a very big growth and get tested immediately.
my physician takes these things very seriously. show up on monday to his offices.
another route is to go to hospital complain about it and they'll run every test imaginable. but at least you'll get answers.
good luck.

It could be a lymph node, or even a cyst. I have cyst all over my body underneath The skin. The Dr. says it doesn't need treating unless it becomes bothersome. Try not to worry. I know you will though, because that is natural. I pray everything will be OK. Let us know.

Don't worry ahead of time. I have one also and the doctor said it was a cyst and not to be too concerned about it. Sometimes it will come to a head and discharge a smelly puss and that's the extent of it. Wait without worrying for your doctors diagnosis.

I've had a small lump in my arm since I was 18. I'm now 27. Every time I see a doctor I forget to mention it.
Don't fret.

Could be a lympth node and it could indicate that you have an infection. Try not to worry too much you will probably be fine.

Could be a swollen gland. Good thing you are getting it checked out to rule out anything serious. I hope all goes well!
