Hi ladies - I won't bore you with my story ;-)  I'm in the 6 month club, high risk and had ductal excision/lumpectomy with atypia noted a few years ago.

I have something weird going on with lymph nodes under my jaw line. A few months ago, I had a hard, pea sized lump under my chin. My doc told me to go see the dentist and he pulled out a few old fillings and replaced them ($$) but I have to admit - the lump went away!

Last eve I was rubbing my neck along the right jawline and feel another one, same thing. Not painful, just feels like a hard pea. I am under some stress right now but not sick. Just wondering if anyone has had these issues, thanks!!

    Thanks Mary! No other symptoms, I am really stressed out, but other than that, all seems well? I've never had these issues before. I found a great diagram on the internet -it is the parotid node, on my neck, right below the ear lob and along the upper jaw line. .So I am doing a little research on that tonight.  Just thought it was weird that one would go away and another pop up. Sigh. Getting old is hell!! :-) :-)
