Thanks, Apostis, but unfortunately I don't have health insurance. I'm looking into thermograms and trying to figure out who does them and for how much now. I really, really, REALLY hate going to the doctor, but I need to know what this is - one way or another - just to ease my mind. I'd hate for it to be something serious and find out later that I waited too long. Also, even if I am able to shrink it myself, I want to make sure toxins from it aren't going elsewhere in my body. I just can't even describe to you how much I abhor doctor's visits, but I literally can't sleep at night for wondering about it.
