Swolen gland on the side of neck.

[Lycanthrope]

Well swelling has seem to gone down slightly and I have just started with the slight flu, so lets hope that is the cause of it, I have medical aid so I can see a GP if I want to, but i don't wanna be that patient that goes there with the sniffles and every little bump if you know what I mean.

Think of it as a good opportunity to build on your relationship with your doctor. I think doctors appreciate having simple things to deal with and think of it as a bit of a break from the heart-breaking stuff.

Don't be so insecure. You (or your medical aid) pay them to tell you that you're okay. They get to coin it and you get to walk out with some reassurance. Win-win; so no need to feel as though you'd be "that" patient.

And our advice was that he should see a doctor instead of speculating and shrugging it off.

yes I know I was addressing the person who was claiming lymphoma ... ok whatever leave it now

@Endzeut, yes lycanthrope is correct you pay for the medical services so you can go as often as you want. You can go to a clicks/dischem/pharmacy if you do not wish to pay for anything. Its free to speak to a pharmacist and they will tell you if you need to see a doctor, provided they put their profession first over the business.

There is a swollen gland on my fiancee's neck.

We only saw it today and according to her its damn sore. I touched it on accident and she almost cried because of the pain.

Will be making an appointment at the doctor first thing tomorrow.

Good call, could be lymph nodes. They can become inflamed because of flu or a mouth infection but lymphoma isn't something I'd take to chance.

Well they are definitely not due to infection. The doctor scheduled a biopsy for her for Thursday.

And that's my point, you just do not mess around with these things.
Rather be safe than sorry.
Wish her well man, keep us posted
