Bradley, the internet is great at frightening us, but follow the nurse's advice and get it checked. There's nothing wrong with asking to see a doctor if you're worried. Also, make sure you have regular dental check-ups as they are usually very good at spotting the early signs of mouth cancer. I had a 'floating node' which turned out to be nothing to worry about - but I got it checked, so make that appointment!

What's a floating node?

They told me it's not at all uncommon, a node in the jaw that feels like a little lump that seems to slip away to the side when you press slightly with your finger. It wasn't a painful lump. But as I said, if there's anything suspicious, get it checked - better safe than sorry and if they catch mouth cancer you're so much more likely to have a good outcome. Good luck with it.

Mine is exactly like that. It's like a little pebble about half an inch and it slides about. I also have pea sized nodes in my neck and groin and stuff tho but thats just because I'm slim. Do you still your bump? Mine might just be similar to yours since I have no symtoms or indications of it being caused by cancer as all I hsve is a node that won't go away.
