Don't say the M word

How wrong is it that one of the bouncers we made friends with at our local hangout was insisting that I keep my glasses off and next time have my hair curly..then we find out his girlfriend kinda looks just like me except her hair is curly, sometimes she wears glasses but they are the same frames as mine.  When he was asked about the girlfriend thing he said he "kinda" had a girlfriend.  They have been together quite some time at least 10 months. That shit is crazyyyy.  I don't want to be a twin! lol

Anyways, I went to my appointment on Christmas Eve about this lymph node and the ultrasound of it was done..the technician was pretty surprised it seemed at the size of it..she said "That's not normal" and that it's too big. It's the right supraclavicular lymph node that we are keeping a watch on at the moment.

My next appointment in on January 2nd. I initially was at the ER on December 2nd so this has been going on a monthwith no real sense of what's going on. They have not done any blood work or anything.

I read two important things:
"Supraclavicular nodes are the most worrisome for malignancy"

 "Patients with unexplained localized lymphadenopathy who have constitutional symptoms or signs, risk factors for malignancy or lymphadenopathy that persists for three to four weeks should undergo a biopsy" which is hopefully why we have been waiting but I'm pretty sure it is the next step from here.

I read some things to my mom and she was like don't say the "M" word.."M" meaning malignant. I mean it definitely has to be considered though.

Here's some important articles:

I guess we shall see.

So to update I got a call back from my doctor's office and I guess the radiologist suggested that they do another ultrasound in 6 weeks.  February 5th.  I also got a call back from the Mayo Clinic, they accepted my request to be seen but ask for $650.00 upfront, which I don't have so womp womp for now.
