Hi Patricia! I know how you feel. I have a bump on the back of my lower neck and my markers are jumping up and down. I see the doctor on Oct. 8 and will request scans (when I ask for them...only twice...he gets up and walks with me to the scheduling person and asks her to get me in that day or the next....he knows how hard waiting is.). Mine is a bit bigger than pea size, but could be anything, I guess! I'll be thinking of you and believing with you that it is just some "pain in the neck" nothing!!! Please let us know when you know something. mary anne
