lump

hi, i've had a small lump in my neck just under my ear for around 2 years but it's never bothered me nor have i had any symptoms of cancer i did call my gp around a year ago but the receptionist advised to keep an eye on it as i had no pain or symptoms, recently in the last 2 months i've noticed just below the lump i've got a bigger one just next to my neck bone i haven't had any symptoms but my neck has started to hurt when i move it. of course ive goodled about it and they all say the worst i have had some neck trauma also from my previous partner i'm just worried as i have 2 young children and don't want to think the worst i have phoned my gp but she said to call back as they have no availability 

  • Hello, and thank you posting.

    I'm afraid I'm unable to say if there is anything the matter, you are best contacting the GP again as they are the only people who can assess you properly.

    It isn't necessarily anything sinister, but as there is now a change for you with this new lump it is good to talk it through with a Doctor. 

    Take care and hopefully your GP will get availability soon.

    Sarah.
