Hi, I also have a hard lump under my left ear near the jaw hinge. I am also dealing with Breast Cancer for the 2nd time, So whilst i was having an ultra scan for BC i mentioned my neck, Since then i have now been refered to  ENT and have had Scan & Bi-op on the neck lump,(Oct 7)  last night i got the results, which were inconclusive. Today i had a call to have yet another scan & bi-op this friday.

I would call your Dr & insist on a face to face with them.

Hello and thanks for your post,

Most small lumps are harmless, and the lump under your jaw may be a swollen lymph gland but of course I can't be sure so it is always a good idea to get any lump checked out by your GP.

There is some information written about lumps on the NHS website here

I can understand that you don't want to cause any worry to your wife and daughter because of their own health issues but it is also important that you look after yourself.

I hope you manage to speak to your GP if it is only for your own peace of mind.

All the Best,

Catherine

Thank you Catherine for your good advice.
