October 25, 2010 Update:
So I had an ultrasound last Wednesday. Got a call from the Dr's office today, they said that the results came back normal except for a lump on the lymphnode. She said the doctor wanted to wait 6 months and then visit the doctor again, and possibly have another ultrasound. Wtf does that mean?? Are they saying it's cancer and they want to see if it shrinks or what? I'm so confused/terrified. Why the fuck would you wait 6 months? I'm thinking I might just get really drunk and then cut it out myself, it's JUST below the skin. Why the hell do they want to wait 6 months?
October 7, 2010 Update: OK, doctor's appointment is tomorrow. I think I'm having a mild panic attack right now; I don't know if I've ever shaken this badly before and I think I'm going to throw up (from nerves, not being sick). All I can think about is having cancer & dying. What if I waited too long and it's spread now? Or they make me wait for a biopsy. I just want them to carve this fucking thing out. Fuck if they give me some lidocaine ointment I'll cut it out myself, it's close enough to the skin surface.
I enjoy life, I'd rather not die any time soon. What if they want to saw off my balls or tear my ass out. My friend's dad had cancer and they tore his asshole off and sewed it shut. I just want to have a normal life. Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
--------------------------OP BELOW
I had a hernia when I was 4 years old on the left side. I have a small scar sitting on the upper groin area right around the level where the waistband of my boxers is. The other day I noticed a small lump there, about the size of a very small grape. It's not tender or anything, but it worries me. It's in the area of where a lymph node in my upper groin may be. There is no corresponding lump on the other side, nor are any of my other lymph nodes swollen, at least none that I can feel. I'm somewhat worried, not too much at this point. I'm going to give it a couple weeks to see if it goes away. But I'm wondering, other than a lymph node, could it just be scar tissue that I never noticed? I don't really poke around down there often, so it's not that unusual that I wouldn't notice something like that for a couple decades.
