Over 5 years ago had been referred to hospital for biopsy on cervical lymph nodes as several swollen but was refused biopsy by hospital. Over 2 years ago I found a small rock hard lump under each of my ears, at the angle of my jaw, they did not hurt and do not move and doctors dismissed them. Afew months after that my lower jaw became numb, lumps getting bigger. Told by doctor numbness caused by virus and lumps are boney protrusions. 6 months after that diagnosed with pernicious Anemia by which point most of face numb. Still tired blood levels normal, lumps gradually getting bigger and feeling of fullness in jaw and behind ears. Doctors are still refusing to do anything, based on nothing, no biopsies no imaging. I m 28 year old female and very concerned.
