Saw a surgeon today for the lump in my neck. He doesn't like some aspects of it (but wasn't willing to let me know exactly what he thought .. just told me not to worry until further tests came back).
I had to get some blood tests done today before having a CT scan. No idea when the date for the CT scan will be at this point as the hospital has to wait for the results of the blood work before they set the scan date.

UPDATE: Turns out the lump is just my carotid artery, larger than normal, but nothing they can do about it. It may continue to grow, it may not, but it will definitely not get smaller. (I'm pouting on that one).
It will not pose any problems either. I just hope that I don't end up with a grapefruit on the side of my neck down the road. Good thing I have long hair to cover it up! ha ha
