I have a question regarding a BONE hard lump in my neck.  It is about 2 cm and 1 cm below where the mastoid meets the sternocleidomastoid muscle.  It is not visible to the naked eye and is felt when mild pressior is put in the muscle.  It feels rock hard, nonmobile, nontender.  I read a post on here earlier of a gentlemen being misdiagnosed witha knot in his neck muscle and it ended up being Follicular Lymphoma.   Has anyone else has a lump like mine.....or an experience like his? I am absolutely convinced I have cancer because my doctor also said it felt like a hard muscle. But it has definately gotten harder over the past 7-8 mo...I dont think it has gotten any bigger nut I heard NHL is sometimes indolent.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!! crestor02 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT
