May 2014 I noticed a pea size lump on the putter side of my right breast. It has a rubbery feel. 3 month later, both my breasts started swelling,turned bright red and were real tender. My right arm also was tingly and both my hands would randomly go numb. This lasted for about 2 weeks.I dismissed all of this cause I was scared to go to the doc. 3-4 months later, both breasts started doing the same this as 3 months prior. I finally had a mammo and ultrasound. Doc said there's a solid mass that is "probably benign" and he wanted to keep an eye on it. I haven't had a mammo since June 2014 cause my insurance wouldn't cover it til December. It is now the size of a marble and can also be felt from a different angle on the breast. I always complained about a sharp pain going down the side of my neck from behind my ear to my collar bone. It was always dismissed an said to be unrelated. In October, I noticed a lump the size of a squished grape behind my right ear and my right tonsil felt swollen. I went to my PCP n she said it was just a cold and gave me antibiotics (??). I took every single one of them. Well, the lump is now swollen even more and the whole right side of my neck,in front and behind my ear all the way down to my collar bone and into my chest is swollen. I went back to my PCP. This was the first time she acted concerned about what is going on. She started me on steroids and told me that as soon as my insurance is effective (on February 1st), she wants "imaging" of my lymph nodes,thyroid and breast. Not only was there a lump behind my ear, she said there were a few other lymph nodes swollen in my neck (the same place I have been getting the sharp pains for a while now) and my thyroid was swollen. I've had problems with my insurance and I really just wanted it all to go away so this has been seriously delayed. It's been a year and a half since I found the first lump. The doctors convinced me that it's "probably benign" so I put it in the back of my head until problems surfaced. I have a constant headache 24-7 and I've gained so much weight! I sleep 15 out of 24 hours a day and would sleep more if I could. At least once a day I feel like I'm going to pass out and my hair almost fell completely out!! It has started growing back at the moment!! I should have answers in the beginning of February but I'd like to go into this having a little knowledge about what could be happening with me. Any ideas? I'm so tired of being sick!!
