1. No abnormality seen in the right side of the neck at the site of the patient's clinical concern.

2. There is a 14 x 9 x 8 mm enhancing structure in the midline the submandibular space possibly representing a slightly large submandibular lymph node. A small venous malformation or hemangioma would be another consideration. Correlation with physical 

exam findings suggested.

      As I said, we'll have to beg to differ. You are a researcher, not a doctor, therefore a G.P. would be best placed to advise this patient regarding supplements of any description.

      no, actually their not

      they are taught absolutely nothing about supplements

      because that is not their business

      they are told for the most part not to

      have an opinion about supplements

      anyways, a naturopath is an expert on vitamins

      I'm sure my wonderful G.P., oncologist, haematologist, rheumatologist and Macmillan nurses would be happy to debate that. Now I suggest you go and "research" your grammar and spelling, which, for someone of your high standing, much higher than those in the medical profession that have spent many years studying their chosen specialities, is pretty poor. Do not reply to this as it will be immediately deleted.

      honestly

      I spent an hour trying to help you

      I'm glad you believe in your doctors

      its just too bad they dont believe in vitamins

      How arrogant are you! Of course doctors and myself believe in vitamins! But they are far better from natural sources such as fresh fruit and vegetables rather than man made! And as for chemicals, thank God my "toxic chemicals" put my lymphoma into remission, I don't think a couple of vitamin tablets would have managed that. Now go to work and leave me alone, I have better things to do than argue with someone as self opinionated as you.

      you were the one saying in 10 posts about how vitamin c and e were not helpful

      i am far from arrogant unless you mean helpful

      At no point did I say that they were not helpful, merely that medical advice should be given before taking. Get your facts right.

    Dear John, your results are pretty normal. Though your doctor should explain you more regarding the following passage: A small nodule is seen in the midline of the submandibular space. This measures about 14 x 9 x 8 mm. This could represent a slightly large lymph node. Correlation with physical exam findings is suggested.
