Hey, i'm 16 years old, and recently had a ct scan done to diagnose two lumps on my neck (one on my neck, one under my chin). I've noticed them for clsoe to a year now, and they ha ven't seem to have gotten any larger.

I haven't really had any obvious signs of cancer (other than the lumps)..I'm active, energetic, I eat just fine, I do alot of activities, and just last night I was able to wrestle (and win :d ..Mostly) with my dad (who is a pretty tough guy).

We got a call today, saying that the doctor wanted to see me (and my dad too..Maybe cuz i'm under 18?), on friday at 8:30 (which is a day n a half from today). Do yout hink they found something cancerous on the scan??? Or maybe they just wanna go over results?? I'm so scared. If anyone could offer me anything at all..I'd appreacite it. Do they only call in when something is wrong??

Another thing, it's to see my doctors father (he's a do, his father is an md). I know his (pa-c) isn't going to be in next week, and the doctore (do) is usually booked for a bit. So maybe it's just because of that??

I've never been this scared in my life. It's hard to even eat right now.
