Lymph node in neck

avemaria

Hello I found a small

Lump in neck butbi

had tonsillitis so thought it was to do with that but that was weeks ago that went but the little bean shape lump

is still there 

I finally phoned consultants secretary as ad buses to do by consultant she was very nice and said she would pass information to him and they would get back that was 2 weeks ago I’ve not heard anything . I emailed today to check if my scan was still in august she replied saying it was scheduled but not booked for august I was wondering iif it may have been brought forward . So I presume he saw the information and it’s not anything to be concerned about 

Thankyou 

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I can appreciate that waiting to be told when your scan and appointment are is worrying. You could ring the CT scan department at your hospital to see if they have the request for your scan; they may be able to reassure you. Other than that, perhaps getting back in touch with the secretary who helped you will help.

    I hope you know when this is happening soon.

    You would be welcome to give us a call so 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,

    Caroline
