The story so far.....(screen goes wavy)

I was shaving about three weeks ago when I felt quite a large, painless lump in my neck - right side.
I was feeling a bit tired and there was some illness in the family, so I let it go for a week or so.

Then, whilst opening a bag of chook pellets with a retractable blade, I lacerated my finger, damaging a tendon.  I was put in a back-slab, making it a bit difficult to work the next day.  I took this bonus day off to get myself a doctor's appointment.  The doctor was a bit concerned and sent me along for bloods and an ultrasound.  I'm not sure if it sub-conscious mental preservation, but I was still not even contemplating cancer as an option - 'It's NOT a Toomah!'
