Hello everyone, thank you for reading my post. I found a lump on the right side of my neck just three days ago although I have no idea how long it's been there. I saw my GP yesterday and he was absolutely brilliant. He did a thorough examination and found another lesser enlarged node in the left hand side of my neck.The lump in the right side is 2cm big. I don't know how big the left hand side one is as the doctor didn't say.  There was no evidence of any other enlarged nodes anywhere in my body. I have no other symptoms at all and I haven't been unwell at all recently. I've been referred for an ultrasound scan of my neck but not urgently and that appointment will come in due course. I've had bloods done today for Full blood count, B12 and ferritin, Urea and electrolytes, CRP and thyroid function ( I'm on thyroxine for an underactive thyroid gland) I had a covid booster on 28 September and a flu jab on 12 October with no issues at all.

I am however, scared almost witless at the prospect of this being cancer. The absence of any other symptoms isn't really reassuring me as I'm thinking if it's cancer it has to start somewhere and that might be the swollen nodes in my neck. 

I keep crying and then trying to focus on positive things but it's so hard! I would be so grateful for any help.

Thank you
