OMG, do you worry about everything in life this much? You're going to worry yourself into getting cancer -- worry about that.

My family has a history of hypochondria....LOL. But we've also had a lot of trauma, so, yeah. I'll take your reply as a "no."

You don't worry yourself into cancer.

Love, someone whose stage IV Hodgkin's lymphoma was diagnosed as a result of a lump above my collar bone.


OP - great news on the cyst! Cysts are super obvious on an ultrasound as compared to a swollen lymph node. If it makes YOU feel better, get a second opinion for peace of mind, but I would trust the ultrasound myself.
