Jo, who is now nearly 3, has had a pea sized lump behind her ear for the past week. It’s not reduced at all, which we thought it might if she had just bumped it. But considering the problem she had back in July 2008 when she had an infection of her salivary gland and it caused her to get an abcess in her submandibular gland, I’m now wondering whether she has something similar, since the lump appears to be exactly where the posterior auricular glands are, based on an image from Wikipedia.

So I’ll be off to the GP on Wednesday to see what they have to say. The wife is panicking about it being lymphoma, which of course it could be, but I’m attempting to not jump to worryingly bad conclusions just yet.
