Hi Mia.f4 and thanks for posting.

It sounds like you are having a worrying time at the moment.

Glands (lymph nodes) at the front of the neck can often be enlarged because of infections or viruses.  I expect you have heard that lymph nodes (glands) can get bigger for other reasons too, including cancer, but infection and viruses is by far the most common explanation. 

Large lymph nodes that get bigger because of an infection usually settle down after a month or so, but sometimes it can take a bit longer and they may already not be as big as they were - these things can be hard to estimate for yourself if you are worried.

It is positive that you've had a blood test and your GP has booked you a ultrasound scan, and you haven't noticed any other symptoms.

While we are waiting for tests and results it is hard to think about anything else. Some people find that carrying on with their usual activities and seeing friends can help them feel less anxious.

You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

Take care

Rachel
