October 16.
Found a pea sized lump under chin.
Went to see Dr as I see him routinely. He confirmed he could feel it and that I needed anti biotic.
Flash forward to January 17.
Tried four different lots and Nothing is working and my white blood cells are high.
February 17.
Have ultra sound. Guy seems lovely. Then drops a bomb shell. "You need to rule out there is something wrong with your teeth. If not ill consider lymphoma"
Next day I book an emergency dental appointment. She tried her hardest but my teeth are fine and there was nothing on my X ray.
MAY.
See ENT . Have dental X ray. A 2cm X 2cm faint luecency under my lower incisors. He books me for CT.
June 17.
Go for my CT to be met at the us department. I show the SAME scan guy from last time the letter and that in supposed to be having a CT. He says "teeth are dense and for what I'm looking for ilk get a better idea from ultrasound". It finishes. He just looks at me and says "right I'm taking them out now" I just left tail between my legs! So bloody nervous mi swear.
