Sternoclavicular lump

Hi All,

I found a swelling LHS clavicle joint to sternum 2 wks age. I have no pain but lump is hard, rigid and seems to be going up into neck. No injury, full range of movement with arms and shoulders, no weakness or numbness. Last 2 days started with tension like headaches, fullness in LHS of face, eye sporadic ear and toothache - short lived each time. Went to Gp and referred to hospital on 2 week appointment which is 4Jan. No weightloss, pain, runny nose, other lumps I can find in neck. No bloods taken currently.
Driving myself mad with worry, especially knowing possibilities.

Has anybody else had these symptoms and had positive results please?

  • Hi Kenco,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. I can understand this must be unsettling - I know the uncertainty and waiting for appointments is not easy. It's great though that you have managed to get an appointment so quickly.

    Try if you can to keep yourself busy while you wait, to help keep your mind off any worries. Take things a day at a time. Meanwhile, if others here have similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Take care and I hope that the appointment goes well,

  • Thank you Ben for your wise and kind words. Keeping busy does aide well-being, nights when ruminating starts are the worse. Mr/Mrs Google so dangerous.

    Do you know what happens at you first consultation please, so I can prep and forward manage my expectations.

    Thank you again
