Oh No...Another Lump

Well...I had a "scare" this past week....another lump in my neck. I started seeing/feeling it about a week ago...kept hoping it would go away. I finally made an appointment with my ENT doctor (who is great by the way) to get it checked out. He believes its just a swollen saliva gland. I was also having an issue with my right ear...it felt "muffled" compared to the left ear. He said that it could be a side effect from the chemo treatment - that it could be nerve issues related to the chemo treatment. He put me on steroids to treat both the lump and the muffled ear. Almost done with the steroid pack and it seems to be working. The lump has gone down in size and my right ear is feeling better.
