I have a hard lump in my neck.

have a hard lump in my neck for a couple of months now. Seen GP today and have been advised for a urgent CT scan as GP says the lump has got bigger and is hard and has changed since the first time I saw GP back in March.

I am very concerned that it might be cancer, but have about 2 weeks to wait to get my CT scan done and see a specialist.

  • Hi Mackent,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat. It's good to hear you've seen the GP about this and that you don't have too long to wait for your next appointment - although I appreciate that any waiting and uncertainty will be difficult.

    We have a post here about how to cope with waiting for news, in case any of this is helpful at all.

    I hope it's not long to wait to find out more, and in the meantime hopefully you'll get more replies to your post here soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
