Have You Felt a Small, Movable Lump in Your Neck?

I had a small lump in my neck. I didn’t even notice it. My pulmonologist asked me does that lump hurt. My response was what lump. He said have that checked. I had it checked and after ultrasound, ct and biopsy it turned out to me cancerous. Squamous cell carcinoma in the lymph nodes. Please have the lump checked. If it’s nothing Thank God. If it’s something better to know early. Hope all turns out well for you 🙏🏻

Alexa T. Get it looked at soon! I had a lump in my neck lymph nodes, got it looked at by an ENT specialist, turned out to be squamous cell cancer on the base of my tongue!

Its good to go check it out

I had light stomach pains than finally mentioned to my Dr he sent me out for CT scan it was endometrial cancer

I was just diagnosed with squamous cell cancer as well. At the base of my tongue. I start treatment Aug 11. 5 days a week for seven weeks of radiation and once a week chemo for 7 weeks. Does that sound about right ?

Hi! Michael, That sounds about right, but you have to realize everyone is different. Not all treatments are going to be the same.

Hi Michael I have squamous cell carcinoma on tonsil that has spread to 2 lymph nodes. I started my treatment today My treatment is also 7 chemo and 33 rads.

Good luck Frances! We all have our journeys. But can relate to what others are going through. Good luck! Keep up the fight! 💪

Thank you Richard

Mine turned out to be longe cancer. I start treatment Monday. I understood if it was on your lymph gland it started somewhere else .please get it checked out. I have a hard time eating solids and swallowing

Tongue cancer at the base

Michael I hope all goes well for you 🙏🏻

Michael, mine was very similar to what you described. It is going to be hard to keep weight on because of the treatment and the swelling. I lost 35 + pounds they wanted me to eat a minimum of 2000 calories a day, which is impossible if you can’t eat solids. “Google 10 healthy smoothies for weight gain” Well Being Hub 500 -2000 has some healthy smoothies to help you maintain your weight. I hope this helps! Good luck! keep up the fight! 💪 “Don’t Let The Bad Days Win!”

Please get it checked

Finding a small, movable lump can understandably cause worry, and it's completely natural to have questions about what it might be. While many lumps in the neck area can be related to lymph nodes or other benign causes, it's always best to have any new lump evaluated by a healthcare provider who can properly examine it and determine next steps if needed.
