relapse? or not?

[Guest guest]

I was diagnosed in 1998 with nhl indolent which became aggressive in 2009 and

was treated with RCHOP.

I also had bc in 2003 and 2006= lumpectomies and radiation....

Now, since October, I have a lump behind my ear which seems to be growing slowly

and is pounding and thumping all day long. The hurting may be due to it pressing

against something but it hurts like a wound that wants to heal......It is in the

place where I had two previous biospies ( removal of nodes) and maybe the lymph

fluid is building up and nowhere to go????? I am sure radiation to the chest

may be damaging lymph system too.

I have not run to the oncologist, I know what he will want to do. been there and

done that.

So, I am taking supplements ( R lipoic acid as per ) and others, eat

mostly raw ( for the past three years).

If it is a relapse, I will have had a 18 months break after horrific chemo.

Just wanted to ask you all what you think may help the movement of the fluids. I

do rebounding and castor oil compress. the ear area hurts and pounds all day

along.

Any advice>?

Thank you so much,
