Have been to GP today and she found a 2cm lump in my neck that doesn’t move and feels hard she says . Been having night sweats too .

since January I have been having bad headaches and neurology cannot find anything wrong with MRI and Scans and wondered if I may have cancer that is causing all my issues with todays findings.

im so worried about it all . My GP has booked an urgent ultrasound for over the next two weeks . 

I haven’t been sleeping as it is with the headaches and now this ?

also had gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago as had gallstones and inflamed liver . Antibiotics calmed that down and bloods look like getting back to normal for my liver . However is this all related and do I have cancer ?

thanks from a worried 49 year old 

any advice or thoughts will help

  • Hello Andyc1975

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been having some ongoing health problems recently. It's understandable that you're worried about what may be causing your symptoms. 

    It's positive to hear that you've already had some investigations regarding the headaches and that the MRI and scans you've had haven't raised any immediate cause for concern. It's also good to know that your blood test results have returned to normal since completing a course of antibiotics. 

    Hopefully, the ultrasound that your GP has requested regarding this lump in your neck will give some further information and reassurance regarding your health. If you think it may help to talk things through with one of our nurses, you're welcome to call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Frida,y 9am to 5pm. 

    Best wishes,
