Worried about lump

Hi. 

So I guess I may be worrying for nothing but I've got a swelling in my lower neck I feel its near my thyroid. Anyway I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience of having ultrasound scan. If they find something will I know sooner rather than later. I guess I'm trying to keep positive until I know all I ok I can't help but think the worst. I am sure I am worrying for nothing just know something doesn't feel right. 

They always say u know your own body. 

  • Hello sj2022 and thanks for posting, 

    I think things like this can vary, ultrasound images aren't always straightforward to interpret so it could depend on what is seen during the examination. Sometimes the sonographer might want to wait for the scan image to be reported by a specialist in reading scans before passing any comment, but when they can, they often say something.  

    Try, if you can, to keep an open mind about this lump, most lumps aren't caused by cancer and hopefully there will be another explanation. 

    Give us a ring if you want to talk anything over.  Our number if Freephone 0808 800 4040 and we are around weekdays from 9-5.
