One day, at night, I felt a **small ball** in the right side of my neck. While examining it, I was thinking on what could it be. Mosquitoes? Unknown insects? Since it was something I could only perceive by touch, not visible, I decided to let it go and check daily from that day.

Today I went for **surgery** ([Lymph node biopsy](https://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003933.htm)). The surgeon retired one of the swollen lymph nodes for test. She recommended me to rest for 7 days. And to not take sun on that side for 2 months.

Finally, I removed the cover. It looks OK to me and the doctor. My dermis doesn't heal pretty, but that incision looks very good. It doesn't hurt, I still have the numbness effect of the anaesthesia under the lobe of my ear.

I went straight to the haematologist, in a private health center, to get details about possible treatments. But, I quit the private health center because their policy cant tell or give an idea to the patient on how much the treatment cost… totally absurd.
