Parotid Adenoma

During an MRI scan a lymph node was found next to my ear. No action was taken. Five months later I had another scan which identified a parotid lesion measuring 9mms which is possibly a parotid adenoma. ‘Possibly’ is my worry and could this be cancer. This was an incidental find, as my MRI scans were for another reason, I must add.
I can’t believe this has been left for months, with no action taken by my consultant. I now have an appointment with ENT surgeon this Friday, so they’re taking it seriously. 
Worried massively, should I be worried? Any experience of this thanks?

  • Hello Manxmoo

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently had some health problems and that those investigations have raised another concern. It's very understandable that you're feeling anxious particularly as you mention that there may have been a delay in things. 

    I can see from your post that you have an appointment with the ENT surgeon tomorrow and hopefully, they will be able to give you answers and reassurance about things. 

    If you want to talk things through with one of our nurses you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    Do let us know how you get on tomorrow. 

    Best wishes,
