http://www.webmd.com is an excellent site. Check the spelling though, there is a big difference between lymphoma and lypoma and I'm not sure which one you were typing.

See your doctor.  It may be nothing, but when my mom did that, she had uterine cancer.  It was caught early and they did a hysterectomy which got it all.  She has been cancer free for over 10 yrs now.\n\nI don't want to scare you and it could be nothing serious.  But knowing what happened with my mom, I would get checked out.\n\nSue

I would proceed with a great deal of caution. There are some studies in the early stages that indicate that mushrooms may play a role with cancer (some chemo drugs such as Vinristine, originated in plant world). But, the problem is that there is little documentation what that role will be and how much of that mushroom you will need to treat your specific cancer. I know people want to hope that this is the magic bullet, but there is so much intentional misinformation on the Internet please procede with caution. Keep researching and do not go by 'testimonials' . . they are not reliable because there will never be any evidence that it can help you specifically - you also will never hear about the people it did not help because they probably are dead. \n\nThe National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine is a reliable source on the Internet for investigating mushrooms or any dietary supplement. \nhttp://nccam.nih.gov/\n\nGood luck. Perhaps you could find a clinical trial that would benefit your mother and provide documented proof for those who will follow her?

There are a few possible explanations for this bump.  Most likely, it is a lymph node, but a more serious possibility is infection of the bone around the ear, called mastoiditis.  These infections often require surgical treatment, and leaving it alone could lead to permanent hearing loss.  Lastly, it could be a skin infection, though this is unlikely.\n\nEar infection is a broad statement.  She could have a middle ear infection or an outer ear infection.  In either case, this should be examined and treated.  If the ear is draining, ear drops should be included in the treatment.\n\nDon't put ANYTHING in her ears that is not prescribed by a doctor.  I can guarantee that putting organics like garlic in the ear will worsen her condition.  I have seen these patients and it can be aweful.

Has she had a PET scan to try and find the primary cancer? If she has bone cancer that has spread from an unknown primary cancer then this is not a good situation. She has been given the radiation for palliative pain control in her bones and not as a curative treatment. Make sure her pain is treated properly as it will probably increase over time. Perhaps it is time to contact hospice or make other preparations to take care of your mother. \n\nHere is a good webpage about cancer of unknown primary so that you can better ask questions about treatment options of your mother's Drs. Make sure you have realistic expectations because there is no reason to make her sick from chemotherapy if the treatment will not produce remission or extend life span.  good luck\n\nhttp://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1463.htm

look up medline and prepare for the avalanche.\nThe national institute of health site is good too. \nNational Cancer Institute\nDr koop and Dr. gabe Mirkin's sites are more readable (less technical), but will not have as much information.\nGoogle will deliver many sites too.\nDoc. Dan.

I pray that your mother's results will be ok, and that she does well. The reason I am writing is because you reminded me of the time I was waiting on my Mother's biopsy, she has breast cancer. My advice for you is to expect the worse, although we are surely not aiming for it, this way whichever way the result goes you will not be affected. Also try not to have any expectations before you understand the full picture.\nI hope all goes well. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

I suggest you find a nearby Cancer Center that you trust and go meet with a social worker there. It is also important to know what kind of treatment your mom needs (i.e. Surgery, Chemo, radiation, or just hospice care). You should find out how sick she is because it might be better for her not to fly or travel.  If she has started treatment in England already, it is better to have a continuity of care there.

The best thing I think you could do is find out alternative ways to help her and learn more about cancer. Th site below is very informative.

Your mother should be very careful with this.  She possibly may need to go on to medication.  My mother (who is overweight) always experienced blood clots in her legs.  She would treat them as they came/went (with heat and massage) until one traveled up her leg, into her heart (where it loged itself) and pieces began breaking off...one to her brain causing a stroke and one to her lung.  She now take warafin (blood thinners) and is going for weight loss surgery so she won't have to take them anymore.  There is a definite relation between weight and the occurance of clots.\nPlease get your mom to go to her MD...prevention is the best medicine!!  Let me tell you...teaching my mom the alphabet, how to read and write (after the stroke) was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.
