Is it an abcess, or is it cancer?

The Cheshire Cat 2004-11-12 06:07:16 ET I just found a sore lump behind my left ear. Cancer or abcess? Think happy thoughts, Sean. Think happy.... Happy.....

The Cheshire Cat 2004-11-12 07:06:04 ET It's on the bone, just where the bone meets the fleshy part of your neck. It feels really tender. And I never get colds. I don't think it's cancer. It's just sore and unexpected, and seeing how may dad has throat cancer and that's on my mind... you know how the mind works.

The Cheshire Cat 2004-11-13 06:13:57 ET It was a spider bite. Or something. It's almost gone now. Talk about over-reacting. Now I just gotta take care of this pesky bleeding from all my orifices....
