The Topic of Cancer
18 June, 2023: A Lump on my Throat I was mowing my lawn when I felt a sharp pain on the right side of my neck. Then I threw up (twice), thankfully nothing to severe. When I went inside and looked in the mirror, there was a large lump halfway down the right side of my neck. Maybe it's an allergic reaction. There is a lot of pollen in the air and the smoke from the wildfires in eastern Canada probably isn't helping any. 25 June, 2023: It's still there... The lump is still there and it is painful to touch it. It is also getting a little difficult to swallow food unless I chew it thoroughly. Obviously, it is NOT an allergic reaction. I will see the Doctor as soon as I can. 26 June, 2023: Doctor's Orders I saw the Doctor this morning. When she saw the lump she said: " Wow, that's pretty big." She measured the lump as 2.5cm x 3.0cm ( roughly 1 inch by 1.2 inches for those who don't do metric ). She then ordered a CT scan of my neck.
