![]() ![]() I am a current vaper (attempting to quit) indulge in marrijuana as well. For starters, I am a 20 year old Dad, 2 yo son, with a wife thats about 8 months pregnant. This is going to be a long comment, but maybe this will help some of you in the anxious aspect. Sometimes it comes to mind (like right now) and I get super anxious and convince myself that it’s growing. I’m getting the cyst removed again in April but I feel like the node won’t ever get that small again. You can see it when I’ve mashed it a bunch or when I tilt my neck to the side. It’s smaller, probably pea sized (but more egg shape and super moveable). Cyst came back, and the node is still there. MRI said that in the area of the swollen node was either residual cyst or scar tissue. Got it ultrasound but they couldn’t tell what it was so MRI. Got antibiotics and the swelling went down, but never as small as before. In 2022 I got the cyst removed and the stitches got infected and the node got super big, like sticking out of my neck. Got it ultrasound and they said reactive (in 2019). I have one in my neck that popped up around the time a cyst started right near it. Some nodes may stay there permanently so also be aware of that! Please don’t worry, go get it checked out and give it a month or more to drop back to where it should be. The confirmation bias on there is nuts for us health-anxious folk. Obviously for piece of mind, I recommend going to the doctor just to have them confirm it but do not listen to Google. If you don’t have awful symptoms (night sweats, fever, cough) to go along with it, you are fine. If your node is elliptically shaped (like an egg), you are fine. So even if you have a node that is hard at first or suspiciously large or in the spot where it is the highest chance to have cancer, YOU DO NOT AUTOMATICALLY HAVE CANCER, DESPITE WHAT GOOGLE SAYS. It didn’t show any signs of getting smaller for 4 weeks then randomly decreased a significant amount. He told me to come back if it didn’t go away or if it got bigger or if I got more symptoms. I went to the doctor the next day and the doctor described it as shotty (resembling a shotgun pellet) and most likely it is nothing to worry about. Naturally I googled myself into having cancer shortly after I noticed it because google said hard = cancer, big = cancer, supraclavicular = cancer. I was recently going through a time where I had a single node that was pretty large 1.5cm in length and unknown width.
