Now another issue to deal with!!!

i’ve had a lump on my neck since february. since then, i’ve had two surgeries and a liver biopsy. the medication i’m on for my autoimmune hepatitis can cause lymphoma. i’ve had three docs. feel the lump in the last two weeks. i did have it looked at in february when it was much smaller, but they thought it was just a swollen lymph gland due to a sinus infectoin. well todays visit with the e.n.t., was a bit alarming. he felt it and it’s now the size of a golf ball. it’s a “perotid mass”. this is the (saliva gland). now i know why my mouth has been so dry for the last few months. i’m going for an m.r.i. tomorrow a.m. and then back to the e.n.t on thursday. he said it is wrapped around some lymph glands too. he wants to look at the m.r.i. and get it out. so now i have another surgery to look forward too. (sarcasm). this is the third one in three months. i sure wish this gbs, autoimmune hepatitis and side effects from medications crap would stop already. well, i guess when life throws you lemons, you’ve got no choice but to make lemonaide. life goes on!!!! just wanted to share the latest medical issue. thanks all for listening.
