I'm dying, right?

Collarbone Tumor.

Your pacemaker is slip-slidin’ away.

Insect egg.

When it hatches, it will crawl up into your skull and eat what’s left of your brain.

I saw the movie.

Is it a leather couch? Could you measure it?

That's where the aliens inserted the probe.

They must not have liked you: most people get in the ass.

swollen lymph node.

The probe migrates to the brain.

[quote] swollen lymph node.

Lymphoma!

Fatty tumor.

Goiter. Get your thyroid checked.

"I'm Dying, Right?" could easily be a new recurring theme around here, like Tasteful Friends. It is, of course, advisable to run immediately to DL whenever a concerning symptom arises.

We’re all dying, honey.

Probably a harmless sebaceous cyst.

The AIDS is near.

Keratosis: Harmless, itchless skin condition Moisturize, gentle exfoliation

Lymph node

I had one show up in my groin, OP. Weird! Then, over the next couple of weeks, it got bigger and bigger and began to hurt like a son of a bitch and made me walk funny. I called the clinic to get an appointment, and they were fully booked. I decided I'd try going to an Urgent Care clinic the next day, but then my boss scheduled a meeting.

And during the meeting, the abscess (which it was turned out it was) burst. I suddenly had all this goo running down my leg. I spent the next week taking lots of hot baths and applying hot compresses to clean it and keep it open while it gradually went down and healed up.

I've never had an abscess before, and it just magically appeared. Strange. The doctor told me they can be triggered by stress.

It’s an undigested Oreo, you fat whore.

Bubonic plague.

Get your affairs in order!

It’s a cyst from being a hoe

Get a knitting needle and see if you can lance it.

No, don't listen to r20. It's rabies.

Folliculitus, like a giant pimple that hurts. I get them in my pits if I use deodorant antiperspirant, luckily I have little stink even for a 55 yr old. They lanced them and it was nasty and painful.

OP?

Are you there?

OH MY GOD!

It doesn’t sound serious.

Where's the can I have your stuff poster?

Go to the dr.

Just drink some bleach!

I'm an NP and I had no idea the suprasternal notch is called the "hollow of the throat" by some. Learn something new every day. I'm voting epidermoid inclusion cyst unless you're gonna post a picture of it, OP.

Ebola.

I actually knew someone who died from sepsis after something similar happened. Bacteria from the 'goo' entered his bloodstream

Most likely a Manitou. Don't fiddle with it, it will want to stay for breakfast.

Probably a mouse burrowed under your skin. Sleep with cheese placed in a circle around you, and he’ll come out.

I couldn’t even bring myself to post a bitchy comment after the recent deaths of some of our DL members. You should schedule at least a telemedicine visit with your MD and talk it through.

Itza Toomah

It’s that long lost, undescended testicle finally making an appearance.

Sounds like some kind of keratosis.

R26 Hello?

What kind of stuff do you have?

The node is coming from inside the manubrium.

Can I have your stuff? Except the node I mean. You can keep that.

R38 - yeah but that was an uncharacteristically subtle "can I have your stuff?". You are usually much more blunt.

It is probably just a parasitic twin itching to escape.

Let’s see you get 12+ WWs with a straight “Can I have your stuff?”

It’s either a lipoma or some type of blood cancer. Probably a lipoma though.

OP could go on the show about Pimple Popping! Don’t let the title fool you—they pop really gross stuff—way beyond pimples. Of course they won’t help you if it is a tumor.

R34 Who died on DL? The way the board has been running, the only person I can think that died was Murial.

Tape a firecracker to it, light the firecracker, and squint real hard while looking away.

R47 Pierre of Christmas Moose fame among others.

Have you been vaccinated, OP?

“Coronavirus vaccinations can cause enlarged lymph nodes in the armpit or near the collarbone, which may be mistaken for a sign of cancer. As vaccines are rolled out across the country, doctors are seeing more and more of these swollen nodes in recently immunized people, and medical journals have begun publishing reports aimed at allaying fears and helping patients avoid needless testing for a harmless condition that will go away in a few weeks.”

^^You just made that up, right?

R29, It's called "the hollow of the throat" by MOST people. Where do you live?!

[quote]^^You just made that up, right?

No, it's from the NYT.

It's been over a week. Op must be dead. We hardly knew ye.

I'm here. I had a video doctor's appointment and they want me to come in next Monday. Yuck.

Better safe than sorry OP, best to get it checked. It's probably a lymph node or something. Fingers crossed that the doctor is hot.

Is it itchy?

It could be a Lipoma, as R45 suggested.

It's foetus in foetu.

It's the gravel in your crop, OP.

You're a turkey.

Big ol' ZIT! Calling Dr. Pimple Popper! STAT!!!

Does it move easily? Is it by the surface or a little deeper?

It's the 'Rona and now you're gonna die. If you're in Texas though, you might have time for one last happy hour if you hurry.

R55 an appointment in one week's time doesn't strike me as a panic appointment btw OP. remember one of the main things doctors have to do is due diligence, they need to make sure something isn't serious via testing - even if they're certain it's not serious they'll need to rule out anything serious to cover themselves and their liability. I've had two MRIs for this kind of "well lets just check to be 100% sure" template (both benign).
