Concerned About Lump In Neck

Hi.

I have developed a big lump on the top left side of my neck, the only way I found it was my voice had changed, it felt like something was against my voice box and my neck felt fuller on the left side, I had a really sore throat that I couldn't relieve with lozengers or antibacterial remedies. I have not been well since last year, developed bruises and rashes, my CBC was normal. This year the rashes progressed, my bruises got worse, I started having fevers, felt like passing out, dillusional, disorientated.. needed maxilon injections to stop the nausea. I had a temp of 38 and also had hot flushes throughout my body.

 My test results 2 weeks ago, had an increase in WBC, and a huge increase in cellular inflammation. I had the tests done again and my CBC returned to normal.. but the lump is still there.

I'm still concerned quite concerned over it, I'm still not well and regularly break out in rashes, and have hot flushes and experience nausea leaving me feeling very drained and fatigued.

I'm waiting another month to see what happens..

I have had CFS in the past where i had lots of viruses and bacterial infections.. but never had a increase in my WBC..

Is there any advice you could give me as to what I should do? Any suggestions or thoughts as to what it could be..

Id appreciate any help or advice you could give me.

Thank you.

a P.E.T. scan could tell you if you have a cancer.
