Hi all,
as most of you know i was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in october,had a wide excision and sentinel node biposy which was clear in december.
I have now found a very small lump(like a hard pea) behind my left ear,i dont know if i should be worried about this.My melanoma was very thin so i dont really want to call my consultant about the lump incase he thinks im being dramatic!!
any ideas??

Hi Gemma...............................Get that lump checked out girl no matter what anyone thinks......Love Carol x
In our position I would always get lumps checked out, but don't panic, could be just a swollen gland, have you got a sore throat or any obvious infection, cuts or scratches on your head? I used to have a gland come up behind my ear quite a lot when I was younger and used to get myself into hot sweaty situations (physical exercise folks.. nowt more), which used to cause my head to itch, which I would scratch too much et voila... swollen gland! If it doesn't go down within a couple of days I would certainly suggest you see your GP.
